Ndufb8 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; integumental system; nervous system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nuclear type mitochondrial complex I deficiency 32. Orthologous to human NDUFB8 (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B8).

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 Ndufb8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
