Chchd4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable protein-disulfide reductase activity. Involved in mitochondrial respiratory chain complex assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; mitochondrial DNA repair; and regulation of protein export from nucleus. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in brain; embryo; liver; and spleen. Orthologous to human CHCHD4 (coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 4).

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 Chchd4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
