NDUFS8 NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S8

Gene ID: 4728, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TYKY; CI-23k; CI23KD; MC1DN2

Summary

This gene encodes a subunit of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase, or Complex I, a multimeric enzyme of the respiratory chain responsible for NADH oxidation, ubiquinone reduction, and the ejection of protons from mitochondria. The encoded protein is involved in the binding of two of the six to eight iron-sulfur clusters of Complex I and, as such, is required in the electron transfer process. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Leigh syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
