Protein
Succinate dehydrogenase assembly factor 2, mitochondrial
Organism
Lodderomyces elongisporus (strain ATCC 11503 / CBS 2605 / JCM 1781 / NBRC 1676 / NRRL YB-4239)
Function
Plays an essential role in the assembly of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), an enzyme complex (also referred to as respiratory complex II) that is a component of both the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and the mitochondrial electron transport chain, and which couples the oxidation of succinate to fumarate with the reduction of ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) to ubiquinol. Required for flavinylation (covalent attachment of FAD) of the flavoprotein subunit of the SDH catalytic dimer.
Similarity
Belongs to the SDHAF2 family.
