Gene:
NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) Fe-S protein 2, 49kDa (NADH-coenzyme Q reductase)
Gene ID:
199955
Symbol:
NDUFS2
Species:
1000
Description:
Mitochondrial complex I (NADH-ubiquinone reductase; EC 1.6.5.3) is the first multimeric complex of the respiratory chain that catalyzes the NADH oxidation with concomitant ubiquinone reduction and proton ejection out of the mitochondria. Mammalian mitochondrial complex I is an assembly of at least 43 different subunits. Seven of the subunits are encoded by the mitochondrial genome; the remainder are the products of nuclear genes. The iron-sulfur protein (IP) fraction of complex I is made up of 7 subunits, including NDUFS2. See NDUFS1 (MIM 157655).[supplied by OMIM]
