COQ9 is an enzyme that is required for the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q [1]. It may either catalyse a reaction in the coenzyme Q biosynthetic pathway or have a regulatory role.

This domain is found at the N-terminal end of Ubiquinone biosynthesis protein COQ9 from humans and similar proteins predominantly from vertebrates. COQ9 is a lipid-binding protein involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q, also named ubiquinone, an essential lipid-soluble electron transporter for aerobic cellular respiration. This protein has structural homology to the TFR family of bacterial transcriptional regulators. This domain contains an a helix-turn- helix (HTH) motif that largely lacks the positive charges required for DNA binding [1,2].
