Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial ATP synthesis coupled electron transport and response to oxidative stress. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; nervous system; respiratory system; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nuclear type mitochondrial complex I deficiency 23. Orthologous to human NDUFA12 (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit A12).
