Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 66052 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable heme binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial electron transport, succinate to ubiquinone. Located in mitochondrion. Part of respiratory chain complex II (succinate dehydrogenase). Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study Leigh disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Carney-Stratakis syndrome; gastrointestinal stromal tumor; lung non-small cell carcinoma; and paraganglioma. Orthologous to human SDHC (succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit C). PHENOTYPE: Heterozygous compound knockouts (with Sdhb or Sdhb and Sdhd) show reduced increase in blood hemoglobin under hypoxic conditions. [provided by MGI curators] |
