Gene:
NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 alpha subcomplex, 8, 19kDa
Gene ID:
208754
Symbol:
NDUFA8
Species:
1000
Description:
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.
