Class 2 dihydroorotate dehydrogenases (DHOQO, EC 1.3.5.2) is an enzyme with systematic name (S)-dihydroorotate:quinone oxidoreductase.[1][2][3][4][5] This enzyme catalyses the electron transfer from dihydroorotate (electron donor) to a quinone (electron acceptor):

(S)-dihydroorotate + quinone orotate + quinol

These enzymes differ from class 1 dihydroorotate dehydrogenases (DHODH) on the electron acceptor, on their structure, and on their cellular localization. Since the reaction catalyzed by DHOQOs is both part of the electron transport chain and the pyrimidine de novo synthesis, it has been explored as a possible target for cancer treatment, immunological disorders and bacterial/viral infections.[6][7][8]
