Sdha Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables succinate dehydrogenase (quinone) activity. Involved in respiratory electron transport chain and succinate metabolic process. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leigh disease; dilated cardiomyopathy 1GG; lung non-small cell carcinoma; mitochondrial complex II deficiency; and paraganglioma. Orthologous to human SDHA (succinate dehydrogenase complex flavoprotein subunit A). [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 rat Sdha often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
