Ndufa1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I assembly. Located in mitochondrion. Part of respiratory chain complex I. Is active in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; cranium; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study mitochondrial complex I deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nuclear type mitochondrial complex I deficiency 12. Orthologous to human NDUFA1 (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit A1).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ndufa1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
