mt-Nd1 - NADH dehydrogenase 1, mitochondrial Gene

Predicted to enable NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) activity. Predicted to contribute to NADH dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial electron transport, NADH to ubiquinone; mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I assembly; and response to hydroperoxide. Located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including MELAS syndrome; neurodegenerative disease (multiple); optic nerve disease (multiple); toxic shock syndrome; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human MT-ND1 (mitochondrially encoded NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
