Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable electron transfer activity; metal ion binding activity; and oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-CH group of donors. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial electron transport, succinate to ubiquinone. Located in mitochondrion. Part of succinate dehydrogenase complex (ubiquinone). Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study Leigh disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Carney-Stratakis syndrome; gastrointestinal stromal tumor; lung non-small cell carcinoma; and paraganglioma. Orthologous to human SDHC (succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit C).
