Description
Product Characteristics:
Accessory subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I), that is believed not to be involved in catalysis. Complex I functions in the transfer of electrons from NADH to the respiratory chain. The immediate electron acceptor for the enzyme is believed to be ubiquinone.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Cell membrane
Synonyms: PGIV, CI-19KD, CI-PGIV, NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex subunit 8, Complex I-19kD, Complex I-PGIV, NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase 19 kDa subunit, NDUFA8
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the complex I 19 kDA subunit family. Mammalian complex I is composed of 45 different subunits. This protein has NADH dehydrogenase activity and oxidoreductase activity. It plays an important role in transfering electrons from NADH to the respiratory chain. The immediate electron acceptor for the enzyme is believed to be ubiquinone. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
