Summary
NDUFAF3 (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex assembly factor 3, HGNC:29918) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3p21.31, encoding NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex assembly factor 3 (Q9BU61). Essential factor for the assembly of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex (complex I). It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 28.0% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a mitochondrial complex I assembly protein that interacts with complex I subunits. Mutations in this gene cause mitochondrial complex I deficiency, a fatal neonatal disorder of the oxidative phosphorylation system. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

Function. Essential factor for the assembly of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex (complex I).
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with NDUFAF4, NDUFS2 and NDUFS3.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Mitochondrion inner membrane.
Disease relevance. Mitochondrial complex I deficiency, nuclear type 18 (MC1DN18) [MIM:618240] A form of mitochondrial complex I deficiency, the most common biochemical signature of mitochondrial disorders, a group of highly heterogeneous conditions characterized by defective oxidative phosphorylation, which collectively affects 1 in 5-10000 live births. Clinical disorders have variable severity, ranging from lethal neonatal disease to adult-onset neurodegenerative disorders. Phenotypes include macrocephaly with progressive leukodystrophy, non-specific encephalopathy, cardiomyopathy, myopathy, liver disease, Leigh syndrome, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, and some forms of Parkinson disease. MC1DN18 transmission pattern is consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the NDUFAF3 family.
