Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable iron-sulfur cluster binding activity; succinate dehydrogenase (quinone) activity; and ubiquinone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in aerobic respiration; respiratory electron transport chain; and succinate metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Part of respiratory chain complex II (succinate dehydrogenase). Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Carney-Stratakis syndrome; gastrointestinal stromal tumor; mitochondrial complex II deficiency; paraganglioma; and pheochromocytoma. Orthologous to human SDHB (succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit B). PHENOTYPE: The gene is involved in the hypoxia-induced RNA editing pathway in monocytes. Heterozygous compound KOs show reduced increase in blood hemoglobin under hypoxic conditions. Homozygous inactivation of this gene results in complete embryonic lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
