In enzymology, a 4-hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.39) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

a polyprenyl diphosphate + 4-hydroxybenzoate diphosphate + a 4-hydroxy-3-polyprenylbenzoate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are a polyprenyl diphosphate and 4-hydroxybenzoate, whereas its two products are diphosphate and 4-hydroxy-3-polyprenylbenzoate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring aryl or alkyl groups other than methyl groups. This enzyme participates in ubiquinone biosynthesis.
