Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) activity. Predicted to contribute to NADH dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial electron transport, NADH to ubiquinone; mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I assembly; and response to oxidative stress. Located in mitochondrion. Part of respiratory chain complex I. Is active in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus and oocyte. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nuclear type mitochondrial complex I deficiency 2. Orthologous to human NDUFS8 (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased embryo size, a rudimentary egg cylinder, failure of primitive streak formation, absent primitive node and head folds, failure to gastrulate, and complete embryonic lethality by E9.5.
