General annotation (Comments)

Function

Prenyltransferase that mediates the formation of menaquinone-4 (MK-4), a vitamin K2 isoform present at high concentrations in the brain, kidney and pancreas. Mediates the conversion of phylloquinone (PK) into menaquinone-4 (MK-4), probably by cleaving the side chain of phylloquinone (PK) to release 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (menadione; K3) and then prenylating it with geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) to form MK-4. Ref.10

Pathway

Cofactor biosynthesis; menaquinone biosynthesis. Ref.10

Subcellular location

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Mitochondrion Ref.1 Ref.8 Ref.10 Ref.17.

Tissue specificity

Ubiquitously expressed. Ref.1

Involvement in disease

Defects in UBIAD1 are the cause of crystalline corneal dystrophy of Schnyder (SCCD) [MIM:121800]. SCCD is a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by progressive corneal opacification resulting from abnormal deposition of cholesterol and phospholipids. Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16 Ref.17

Miscellaneous

Strongly down-regulated in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and in prostate carcinoma (at protein level).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the UbiA prenyltransferase family.
