NDUFA7
NDUFA7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NDUFA7 gene. The protein is a subunit of NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone), which is located in the mitochondrial inner membrane and is the largest of the five complexes of the electron transport chain.
Function[edit | edit source]
NDUFA7 is an accessory subunit of the NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) complex, located in the mitochondrial inner membrane. It is also known as Complex I and is the largest of the five complexes of the electron transport chain. The structure of mammalian Complex I is composed of 44 different subunits, including NDUFA7, and has a molecular weight of about 1 million Daltons. One of the functions of these accessory subunits is the translocation of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
Mutations in the NDUFA7 gene are associated with mitochondrial complex I deficiency, a disorder that can cause a wide variety of clinical disorders, including Leigh syndrome, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, and some forms of Parkinson's disease. Symptoms can include muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, and lactic acidosis.
