NDUFAF6 NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex assembly factor 6

Gene ID: 137682, updated on 4-Jan-2025
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FRTS5; C8orf38; MC1DN17; lncREST

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that localizes to mitochondria and contains a predicted phytoene synthase domain. The encoded protein plays an important role in the assembly of complex I (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase) of the mitochondrial respiratory chain through regulation of subunit ND1 biogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with complex I enzymatic deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
