QPC
This gene encodes a ubiquinone-binding protein of low molecular mass. This protein is a small core-associated protein and a subunit of ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex III, which is part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Forensic Context
A study in humans demonstrated that the UQCRQ gene, encoding a subunit of mitochondrial complex III, was downregulated as part of the inhibited respiratory electron transport pathway in the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, kidneys, and heart of post-mortem sepsis patients compared to uninfected controls [Pinheiro da Silva et al.
