Ensembl IDENSG00000156509
GeneCardsAIFM1
Human Protein AtlasAIFM1
FAD-binding domainResidues 150-400, binds FAD cofactor essential for NADH oxidase activity
DNA-binding domainC-terminal region (residues 400-613) can bind DNA in the nucleus
Proline-rich regionContains SH3-binding motifs for protein interactions
Complex I assemblyCritical for proper assembly and stability of NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I)
NADH oxidationFunctions as a NADH oxidase using FAD as cofactor, contributing to mitochondrial redox balance
Mitochondrial DNA maintenanceRequired for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) transcription and replication
Iron-sulfur cluster biogenesisInvolved in assembly of Fe-S clusters essential for multiple mitochondrial enzymes
