Gene information for NDUFB2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4708
Official gene symbolNDUFB2
Full nameNADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 beta subcomplex, 2, 8kDa
Aliases,AGGG,CI-AGGG,MGC70788,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the multisubunit NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I). Mammalian complex I is composed of 45 different subunits. This protein has NADH dehydrogenase activity and oxidoreductase activity. It plays a important role in transfering electrons from NADH to the respiratory chain. The immediate electron acceptor for the enzyme is believed to be ubiquinone. Hydropathy analysis revealed that this subunit and 4 other subunits have an overall hydrophilic pattern, even though they are found within the hydrophobic protein (HP) fraction of complex I.
