- Molecular classification
- Enzyme, Mitochondrial protein, Respiratory chain component
01
Overview
NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4), encoded by the mitochondrial genome, is a core subunit of Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. It catalyzes electron transfer from NADH to ubiquinone and facilitates proton translocation across the inner mitochondrial membrane, contributing to ATP synthesis. Mutations in ND4 are linked to several diseases, including Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathies, due to impaired ATP production.
