Gene information for NDUFB2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database) |
Entrez gene ID | 4708 |
Official gene symbol | NDUFB2 |
Full name | NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 beta subcomplex, 2, 8kDa |
Aliases | ,AGGG,CI-AGGG,MGC70788, |
Gene summary | The 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.
