| Use and description |
| Pyrroloquinoline quinone, also called methoxatin, is a redox cofactor and antioxidant. It is found in soil and foods such as kiwifruit, as well as human breast milk. Enzymes containing PQQ are called quinoproteins. Glucose dehydrogenase, one of the quinoproteins, is used as a glucose sensor. PQQ stimulates growth in bacteria. It is claimed that PQQ taken as a dietary supplement may promote mitochondrial biogenesis. |
