Protein function (UniProt)

NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 4

Core subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I) which catalyzes electron transfer from NADH through the respiratory chain, using ubiquinone as an electron acceptor (PubMed:15250827, PubMed:8344246, PubMed:8644732). Essential for the catalytic activity and assembly of complex I (PubMed:15250827, PubMed:8344246, PubMed:8644732)
