mt-Nd6 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) activity. Involved in 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. Is expressed in brain; early conceptus; and secondary oocyte. Used to study Leber hereditary optic neuropathy and lactic acidosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy; Leigh disease; and spinal muscular atrophy with lower extremity predominant 2B. Orthologous to human MT-ND6 (mitochondrially encoded NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit 6). [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-Nd6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- NADH-quinone oxidoreductase subunit J
- NADH-ubiquinone/plastoquinone oxidoreductase chain 6
- enzyme
- NADH2 dehydrogenase (ubiquinone)
