Human Gene NDUFAF4 (ENST00000316149.8) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex assembly factor 4 (NDUFAF4), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_014165)
RefSeq Summary (NM_014165): NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) catalyzes the transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) in the first step of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, resulting in the translocation of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This gene encodes a complex I assembly factor. Mutations in this gene are a cause of mitochondrial complex I deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]. Sequence Note: This RefSeq record was created from transcript and genomic sequence data to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on transcript alignments.

-  Comments and Description Text from UniProtKB
  ID: NDUF4_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex assembly factor 4; AltName: Full=Hormone-regulated proliferation-associated protein of 20 kDa;
FUNCTION: Involved in the assembly of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex (complex I). May be involved in cell proliferation and survival of hormone-dependent tumor cells. May be a regulator of breast tumor cell invasion.
SUBUNIT: Binds calmodulin. Interacts with NDUFAF3.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Mitochondrion.
INDUCTION: Expression is low in quiescent cells and is induced in exponentially proliferating cultures. Expression is also induced when prolactin is added to stationary cells. Induced by dietary differentiating agents such as butyrate and retinoic acid.
PTM: Phosphorylated on serine. Prolactin stimulate serine phosphorylation (By similarity).
DISEASE: Defects in NDUFAF4 are a cause of mitochondrial complex I deficiency (MT-C1D) [MIM:252010]. A disorder of the mitochondrial respiratory chain that causes a wide range of clinical disorders, from lethal neonatal disease to adult-onset neurodegenerative disorders. Phenotypes include macrocephaly with progressive leukodystrophy, non-specific encephalopathy, cardiomyopathy, myopathy, liver disease, Leigh syndrome, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, and some forms of Parkinson disease.
MISCELLANEOUS: Elevated levels in highly invasive breast cancer cells and mammary tumors. Knockdown of endogenous C6orf66 in MDA- MB-231 cells inhibits MMP-9 secretion.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NDUFAF4 family.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
