electron transfer flavoprotein:ubiquinone oxidoreductase

electron transfer flavoprotein:ubiquinone oxidoreductase
elec·tron trans·fer fla·vo·pro·tein:ubiq·ui·none ox·i·do·re·duc·tase (e-lekґtron transґfər fla″vo-proґtēn u-bikґwə-nōn ok″sĭ-do-re-dukґtās) [EC 1.5.5.1] a component of a side chain of redox reactions by which certain electrons are funneled to ubiquinone and hence to the electron transport chain; the oxidoreductase catalyzes the transfer of electrons from electron transfer flavoprotein (q.v.) to ubiquinone via its FAD prosthetic group and iron-sulfur center. Deficiency of the oxidoreductase, an autosomal recessive trait, causes glutaricaciduria, type II.
