Rabbit anti-Human NDUFA13/GRIM19 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9P0J0

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NDUFA13

Target Full Name

NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex subunit 13

Target Function

Accessory subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I), that is believed not to be involved in catalysis. Complex I functions in the transfer of electrons from NADH to the respiratory chain. The immediate electron acceptor for the enzyme is believed to be ubiquinone. Involved in the interferon/all-trans-retinoic acid (IFN/RA) induced cell death. This apoptotic activity is inhibited by interaction with viral IRF1. Prevents the transactivation of STAT3 target genes. May play a role in CARD15-mediated innate mucosal responses and serve to regulate intestinal epithelial cell responses to microbes.

Target Involvement

Hurthle cell thyroid carcinoma (HCTC)

Target Subcellular Location

Mitochondrion inner membrane; Single-pass membrane protein; Matrix side. Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

Complex I NDUFA13 subunit family

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed, with highest expression in heart, skeletal muscle, liver, kidney and placenta. In intestinal mucosa, down-regulated in areas involved in Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis.

Target Background

This gene encodes a subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I), which functions in the transfer of electrons from NADH to the respiratory chain. The protein is required for complex I assembly and electron transfer activity. The protein binds the signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) transcription factor, and can function as a tumor suppressor. The human protein purified from mitochondria migrates at approximately 16 kDa. Transcripts originating from an upstream promoter and capable of expressing a protein with a longer N-terminus have been found, but their biological validity has not been determined.
