UQCRC1

UQCRC1 (ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase core protein 1) is a protein involved in the mitochondria, often called the cell's powerhouses. Its main role is to help produce energy by participating in the electron transport chain, a process that generates the energy cells need to perform their functions. Proper functioning of UQCRC1 is essential for energy production and overall cell health. If UQCRC1 is faulty or deficient, it can lead to energy production problems, which may contribute to certain diseases or conditions affecting organs that require high energy, like muscles and the brain.
