Structure
The NDUFAF8 gene is located on the q arm of chromosome 17 in position 25.3 and spans 1,987 base pairs.[3] The gene produces a 7.756 kDa protein composed of 74 amino acids.[5][6]
Function
The protein encoded by the NDUFAF8 gene is involved in the assembly of mitochondrial Complex I (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase). This protein is required to stabilize NDUFAF5 during assembly of Complex I.[4]
Interaction
NDUFAF8 has protein-protein interactions with NDUFAF5, stabilizing it.[4]
