Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable unfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chaperone-mediated protein complex assembly; mitochondrial electron transport, NADH to ubiquinone; and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I assembly. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in 2-cell stage embryo and embryo. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nuclear type mitochondrial complex I deficiency 11. Orthologous to human NDUFAF1 (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex assembly factor 1).
