4-hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase

In enzymology, a 4-hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.39) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are a polyprenyl diphosphate and 4-hydroxybenzoate, whereas its two products are diphosphate and 4-hydroxy-3-polyprenylbenzoate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring aryl or alkyl groups other than methyl groups.

This enzyme participates in ubiquinone biosynthesis.

[1] The systematic name of this enzyme class is polyprenyl-diphosphate:4-hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase.
