Mitochondrial ND4L gene

The mitochondrial gene MT-ND4L ncodes an enzyme responsible for electron transport on the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is subunit 4L of the respiratory complex I. The gene is encoded by nucleotides 10470-10766. Diseases caused by mutations include Leber hereditary optic neuropathy and colorectal cancer. The ensemble of all mitochondrial genes is tested if a mitochondrial disorder has to be diagnosed.
