Mt-nd2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) activity. Involved in mitochondrial electron transport, NADH to ubiquinone and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I assembly. Part of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I. Implicated in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy; multiple sclerosis; myocardial infarction; neurodegenerative disease (multiple); and urinary bladder cancer.

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 Mt-Nd2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
