This gene encodes a subunit of the NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) enzyme, which is a large, multimeric protein. It is the first enzyme complex in the mitochondrial electron transport chain and catalyzes the transfer of electrons from NADH to the electron acceptor ubiquinone. The proton gradient created by electron transfer drives the conversion of ADP to ATP. This gene is a core subunit and is conserved in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The human ortholog of this protein has been characterized. It has consensus motifs for NADH, flavin mononucleotide, and iron-sulfur binding sites and participates in the oxidation of NADH as part of the dehydrogenase module of complex I. In humans, deficiencies in complex I are associated with myopathies, encephalomyopathies, and neurodegenerative disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]
