ID:NDUF4_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex assembly factor 4; AltName: Full=Hormone-regulated proliferation-associated protein of 20 kDa; FUNCTION: Involved in the assembly of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex (complex I). May be involved in cell proliferation and survival of hormone-dependent tumor cells. May be a regulator of breast tumor cell invasion. SUBUNIT: Binds calmodulin. Interacts with NDUFAF3. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Mitochondrion. INDUCTION: Expression is low in quiescent cells and is induced in exponentially proliferating cultures. Expression is also induced when prolactin is added to stationary cells. Induced by dietary differentiating agents such as butyrate and retinoic acid. PTM: Phosphorylated on serine. Prolactin stimulate serine phosphorylation (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in NDUFAF4 are a cause of mitochondrial complex I deficiency (MT-C1D) [MIM:252010]. A disorder of the mitochondrial respiratory chain that causes a wide range of clinical disorders, from lethal neonatal disease to adult-onset neurodegenerative disorders. Phenotypes include macrocephaly with progressive leukodystrophy, non-specific encephalopathy, cardiomyopathy, myopathy, liver disease, Leigh syndrome, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, and some forms of Parkinson disease. MISCELLANEOUS: Elevated levels in highly invasive breast cancer cells and mammary tumors. Knockdown of endogenous C6orf66 in MDA- MB-231 cells inhibits MMP-9 secretion. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NDUFAF4 family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
