Abstract
Succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit C (SDHC) is a subunit of mitochondrial complex II (MCII), which is also known as succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) or succinate: ubiquinone oxidoreductase. Mitochondrial complex II is the smallest respiratory complex in the respiratory chain and contains four subunits. SDHC is a membrane-anchored subunit of SDH, which connects the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the electron transport chain. SDH regulates several physiological processes within cells, plays an important role in generating energy to maintain normal cell growth, and is involved in apoptosis. Currently, SDHC is generally recognized as a tumor-suppressor gene. SDHC mutations can cause oxidative damage in the body. It is closely related to the occurrence and development of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and aging-related diseases. Here, we review studies on the structure, biological function, related diseases of SDHC, and the mev-1 Animal Model of SDHC Mutation and its potential use as a therapeutic target of certain human diseases.
