NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] iron-sulfur protein 5 (NDUFS5)

Accessory subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I), that is believed not to be involved in catalysis. Complex I functions in the transfer of electrons from NADH to the respiratory chain.

The immediate electron acceptor for the enzyme is believed to be ubiquinone. .
