Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable oxidoreductase activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial electron transport, ubiquinol to cytochrome c. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; hemolymphoid system; and liver. Used to study mitochondrial metabolism disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial complex III deficiency. Orthologous to several human genes including UQCRFS1 (ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase, Rieske iron-sulfur polypeptide 1).
