Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial ATP synthesis coupled electron transport and response to oxidative stress. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; nervous system; respiratory system; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nuclear type mitochondrial complex I deficiency 23. Orthologous to human NDUFA12 (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit A12).
