Succinate dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] flavoprotein subunit, mitochondrial

UniProtKB accession:  P31040

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Flavoprotein (FP) subunit of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) that is involved in complex II of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and is responsible for transferring electrons from succinate to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) (PubMed:10746566, PubMed:24781757). SDH also oxidizes malate to the non-canonical enol form of oxaloacetate, enol-oxaloacetate (By similarity). Enol-oxaloacetate, which is a potent inhibitor of the succinate dehydrogenase activity, is further isomerized into keto-oxaloacetate (By similarity). Can act as a tumor suppressor (PubMed:20484225).
