Rabbit anti-Human NDUFA5 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q16718

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NDUFA5

Target Full Name

NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex subunit 5

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.

Target Subcellular Location

Mitochondrion inner membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Matrix side.

Target Protein Families

Complex I NDUFA5 subunit family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in all tissues examined with highest levels in heart, skeletal muscle and brain.

Target Synonyms

B13; CI 13kB; CI-13kD-B; Complex I subunit B13; Complex I-13kD-B; DKFZp781K1356; FLJ12147; NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 alpha subcomplex, 5 (13kD, B13); NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 alpha subcomplex, 5, 13kDa; NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex subunit 5; NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase 13 kDa-B subunit; NDUA5_HUMAN; NDUFA5; NUFM; Type I dehydrogenase; Ubiquinone reductase; UQOR13

Target Background

This nuclear gene encodes a conserved protein that comprises the B13 subunit of complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The encoded protein localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it is thought to aid in the transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. There are numerous pseudogenes of this gene on chromosomes 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 16.
