Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) activity. Involved in mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I assembly. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in inherited metabolic disorder; mitochondrial complex I deficiency; and nuclear type mitochondrial complex I deficiency 5. Orthologous to human NDUFS1 (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S1).
