Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable electron transfer activity; flavin adenine dinucleotide binding activity; and succinate dehydrogenase (quinone) activity. Predicted to contribute to succinate dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial electron transport, succinate to ubiquinone; nervous system development; and succinate metabolic process. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane and myelin sheath. Part of succinate dehydrogenase complex (ubiquinone). Is active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leigh disease; dilated cardiomyopathy 1GG; lung non-small cell carcinoma; mitochondrial complex II deficiency; and paraganglioma. Orthologous to human SDHA (succinate dehydrogenase complex flavoprotein subunit A).
