Facts about Atypical kinase COQ8A, mitochondrial.
Probably acts as a small molecule kinase, maybe a lipid kinase that phosphorylates a prenyl lipid from the ubiquinone biosynthesis pathway, as indicated by its ability to bind coenzyme Q lipid intermediates (PubMed:25498144, PubMed:27499294). Shows an unusual selectivity for binding ADP over ATP (PubMed:25498144).
