mt-Nd4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) activity and ubiquinone binding activity. Predicted to contribute to NADH dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in electron transport coupled proton transport; mitochondrial electron transport, NADH to ubiquinone; and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I assembly. Located in mitochondrion. Part of respiratory chain complex I. Is active in mitochondrial inner membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy; Parkinson's disease; macular degeneration; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human MT-ND4 (mitochondrially encoded NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Mt-Nd4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- proton-translocating NADH-quinone oxidoreductase, chain M
- NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 4, amino terminus
- Proton-conducting membrane transporter
- enzyme
- NADH2 dehydrogenase (ubiquinone)
