This gene encodes an assembly factor protein which helps in the assembly and stabilization of Complex I, a large multi-subunit enzyme in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Complex I is involved in several physiological activities in the cell, including metabolite transport and ATP synthesis. The encoded protein is a methyltransferase which methylates Arg85 of a subunit of Complex I in the early stages of its assembly. A pseudogene related to this gene is located on chromosome 8. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
A study in mice demonstrated that the NDUFAF7 was up-regulated in serotonergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area during the addicting phase of nicotine self-administration, indicating its involvement in mitochondrial function and energy metabolism adaptations associated with addiction progression [Fan et al. DOI:10.1016/J.Jgg.2024.08.009].
