Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables protein heterodimerization activity. Contributes to all-trans-nonaprenyl-diphosphate synthase (geranyl-diphosphate specific) activity and trans-hexaprenyltranstransferase activity. Involved in cerebellum development; isoprenoid biosynthetic process; and ubiquinone biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within regulation of body fluid levels. Located in mitochondrion. Part of transferase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including endocrine gland; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and stomach. Used to study coenzyme Q10 deficiency disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency 3. Orthologous to human PDSS2 (decaprenyl diphosphate synthase subunit 2).
