Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) activity and oxygen sensor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to oxygen levels; gliogenesis; and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I assembly. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leigh disease; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; inherited metabolic disorder; multiple sclerosis; and nuclear type mitochondrial complex I deficiency 6. Orthologous to human NDUFS2 (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S2).
