Accepted name: 3-demethoxyubiquinol 3-hydroxylase
Reaction: 5-methoxy-2-methyl-3-(all-trans-polyprenyl)benzene-1,4-diol + a reduced acceptor + O2 = 3-demethylubiquinol + acceptor + H2O
Glossary: 3-demethylubiquinol = 3-methoxy-6-methyl-5-(all trans-polyprenyl)benzene-1,2,4-triol
Other name(s): 6-methoxy-3-methyl-2-(all-trans-polyprenyl)-1,4-benzoquinol 5-hydroxylase; ubiF (gene name); 6-methoxy-3-methyl-2-(all-trans-polyprenyl)-1,4-benzoquinol,acceptor:oxygen oxidoreductase (5-hydroxylating)
Systematic name: 5-methoxy-2-methyl-3-(all-trans-polyprenyl)benzene-1,4-diol,acceptor:oxygen oxidoreductase (5-hydroxylating)
