Etfdh Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable 4 iron, 4 sulfur cluster binding activity; electron-transferring-flavoprotein dehydrogenase activity; and ubiquinone binding activity. Involved in response to oxidative stress. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Orthologous to human ETFDH (electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase).

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