name: 2-methoxy-6-polyprenyl-1,4-benzoquinol methyltransferase activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "Catalysis of the reaction: a 2-methoxy-6-all-trans-polyprenyl-1,4-benzoquinol + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = a 6-methoxy-3-methyl-2-all-trans-polyprenyl-1,4-benzoquinol + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H+." [PMID:23190198, PMID:9083048, RHEA:28286]
comment: Note that the polyprenyl sidechain substrate for this reaction has a different number of prenyl units in different organisms (for example, ubiquinone-6 in Saccharomyces, ubiquinone- 9 in rat and ubiquinone-10 in human), and thus the natural substrate for the enzymes from different organisms has a different number of prenyl units. However, the enzyme usually shows a low degree of specificity regarding the number of prenyl units.
