MT-ND3 is a core subunit of NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I), essential for:
Electron Transport: Catalyzes electron transfer from NADH to ubiquinone in the respiratory chain .
Pathological Relevance: Mutations in MT-ND3 are linked to mitochondrial disorders such as Leigh syndrome and Parkinson’s disease .
Enzyme Activity Assays: Used to study Complex I dysfunction in mitochondrial diseases .
Structural Studies: Facilitates crystallography and cryo-EM analyses due to high purity .
ELISA Development: Available for immunological assays (e.g., antibody validation) .
