Function

Prenyltransferase that mediates the formation of menaquinone-4 (MK-4) and coenzyme Q10. MK-4 is a vitamin K2 isoform present at high concentrations in the brain, kidney and pancreas, and is required for endothelial cell development. Mediates the conversion of phylloquinone (PK) into MK-4, probably by cleaving the side chain of phylloquinone (PK) to release 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (menadione; K3) and then prenylating it with geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) to form MK-4. Also plays a role in cardiovascular development independently of MK-4 biosynthesis, by acting as a coenzyme Q10 biosynthetic enzyme: coenzyme Q10, also named ubiquinone, plays an important antioxidant role in the cardiovascular system. Mediates biosynthesis of coenzyme Q10 in the Golgi membrane, leading to protect cardiovascular tissues from NOS3/eNOS-dependent oxidative stress.

Activity summary

UBIAD1 also known as UbiA prenyltransferase domain-containing protein 1 is a human gene encoding an enzyme with an important role in cellular processes. This enzyme has a mass of approximately 32 kDa and is expressed in various tissues including liver kidney and heart. UBIAD1 is involved in the synthesis of menaquinone-4 (MK-4) a form of vitamin K2 and it participates in cholesterol metabolism. Through its function this enzyme contributes to the production of coenzyme Q10 essential for mitochondrial energy production.

Biological function summary

UBIAD1 helps regulate lipid metabolism and cellular oxidative stress responses. The protein does not form a larger complex but functions independently to facilitate the biosynthesis of specific lipids. Its role in managing oxidative stress is particularly important as it can impact the production of reactive oxygen species within cells. By maintaining the balance of cellular lipids and redox states UBIAD1 supports overall cell health.

Pathways

UBIAD1 acts in both the mevalonate pathway and the vitamin K cycle. In the mevalonate pathway UBIAD1 contributes to the production of cholesterol and non-sterol isoprenoids. It works alongside related proteins such as HMG-CoA reductase a critical enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. UBIAD1 also plays a role in the vitamin K cycle which is important for activating clotting factors necessary for blood coagulation. This involvement highlights its participation in key metabolic and regulatory pathways.

Associated diseases and disorders

Mutations in UBIAD1 can lead to Schnyder corneal dystrophy (SCD) a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive opacification of the cornea. Research indicates that abnormal UBIAD1 function can disrupt cholesterol metabolism resulting in crystalline deposits in the cornea. Additionally UBIAD1 has connections to cardiovascular diseases due to its role in cholesterol regulation. Proteins such as apolipoprotein E (ApoE) may interact with UBIAD1 in the context of these disorders influencing lipid transport and metabolism.
