ND6 is one of seven mitochondrial-encoded subunits in Complex I, which catalyzes NADH oxidation and proton translocation across the inner mitochondrial membrane .
Electron Transfer: Participates in the peripheral arm of Complex I, facilitating electron flow from FMN to ubiquinone .
Proton Pumping: Contributes to the transmembrane domain, enabling proton extrusion .
SDS-PAGE: Used to verify protein purity and molecular weight .
ELISA Kits: Available for quantification (e.g., CSB-EP015082BVZ1 at $1,511.00 for 50 µg) .
Complex I Assembly: Investigates interactions with nuclear-encoded subunits (e.g., NDUFS3, YME1L1) .
Evolutionary Insights: Compares B. lanceolatum ND6 with human homologs to study mitochondrial evolution .
Recombinant Branchiostoma lanceolatum NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 6 (ND6): A core subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I). It's considered part of the minimal assembly necessary for catalytic activity. Complex I facilitates electron transfer from NADH to the respiratory chain, with ubiquinone believed to be the immediate electron acceptor.
