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
Synonyms: mitochondrial, CI-39kD, Complex I subunit NDUFA9, Complex I-39kD, NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex subunit 9, NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex subunit 9 mitochondrial, NADH Ubiquinone Oxidoreductase 1 alpha subcomplex 9, NADH-Ubiquinone Oxidoreductase 1 alpha subcomplex 9, NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase 39 kDa subunit, NDUA9_HUMAN, NDUFA9.
Target Information: The encoded protein is a subunit of the hydrophobic protein fraction of the NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I), the first enzyme complex in the electron transport chain located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 12. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
