SDHC antibody

Background of SDHC antibody

SDHC(succinate dehydrogenase complex, subunit C, integral membrane protein, 15kDa) also known as SDH3, SUCCINATE DEHYDROGENASE CYTOCHROME b. The SDHC gene contains 6 exons. Oostveen et al. (1995) found that in fact it was protein from the bovine SDH3 gene (encoding 1 of the 2 integral membrane proteins) that complemented the hamster mutation. The authors localized the human SDH3 gene to the short arm of chromosome one, within 1 to 2 Mb from the centromere.  Additionally, the authors stated that Southern analyses of human genomic DNA suggested that there are multiple SDH3 genes or pseudogenes. Elbehti-Green et al. (1998) confirmed the assignment of the SDHC gene to 1q21 by FISH. Baysal et al. (2004) described a family with PGL3 in which an 8,372-bp deletion in the SDHC gene was transmitted both maternally and paternally, without evidence of genomic imprinting.
