Anti-NDUFS4 Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes an nuclear-encoded accessory subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (complex I, or NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) . Complex I removes electrons from NADH and passes them to the electron acceptor ubiquinone. Mutations in this gene can cause mitochondrial complex I deficiencies such as Leigh syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

NDUFS4; NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] iron-sulfur protein 4, mitochondrial; Complex I-18 kDa; CI-18 kDa; Complex I-AQDQ; CI-AQDQ; NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase 18 kDa subunit

E.coli-derived human NDUFS4 recombinant protein (Position: R29-K175) . Human NDUFS4shares 91.8% and 90.5% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat NDUFS4, respectively.
