COQ2
COQ2 — the molecular target that 1 compounds in the wiki act on.
In one line: An enzyme in the assembly line that builds CoQ10, a spark plug for your cellular power plants.
COQ2 helps build CoQ10, an essential part of the energy-making chain inside your mitochondria and a fat-based antioxidant. Statins accidentally lower CoQ10 (they share an assembly line with cholesterol), which is one reason some statin users get muscle aches — and why CoQ10 is often taken alongside statins.
Think of CoQ10 as a spark plug in your cellular engines: run low and the engines sputter, especially in the hard-working heart and muscles.
