4-hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, mitochondrial (COQ2) catalyses the combination of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, aka para-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHB) with the polyisoprenoid tail all-trans-decaprenyl diphosphate (all-E-10PrP2) to form 3-decaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) (Forsgren et a l. 2004, Tekle et al. 2008). This reaction is irreversible and occurs in the mitochondria.
