Background：NDUFAB1 （NADH dehydrogenase （ubiquinone） 1, alpha/beta subcomplex, 1）, also known as SDAP, ACP （acyl carrier protein） or FASN2A, is one of about 45 subunits comprising Complex I of the oxidative phosphorylation electron transport chain. Consisting of 156 amino acids and localizing to mitochondria, NDUFAB1 functions as an accessory subunit of the multi-protein mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase complex （known as Complex I）. Complex I plays an important role in the transfer of electrons from NADH to the respiratory chain, a process that is essential for cellular respiration. NDUFAB1 contains one acyl carrier domain and is encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 16p12.2 and mouse chromosome 7 F3.
