Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is an iron-sulfur flavoenzyme linking the Krebs cycle and the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Mutations in the human SDHB, SDHC and SDHD genes are responsible for the development of paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma, tumors of the head and neck or the adrenal medulla, respectively. In recent years, SDH has become recognized as a source of reactive oxygen species,...
