Gene information for COX4I2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID84701
Official gene symbolCOX4I2
Full namecytochrome c oxidase subunit IV isoform 2 (lung)
Aliases,COX4,COX4-2,COX4B,COX4L2,COXIV-2,dJ857M17.2,
Gene summaryCytochrome c oxidase (COX), the terminal enzyme of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, catalyzes the electron transfer from reduced cytochrome c to oxygen. It is a heteromeric complex consisting of 3 catalytic subunits encoded by mitochondrial genes and multiple structural subunits encoded by nuclear genes. The mitochondrially-encoded subunits function in electron transfer, and the nuclear-encoded subunits may be involved in the regulation and assembly of the complex. This nuclear gene encodes isoform 2 of subunit IV. Isoform 1 of subunit IV is encoded by a different gene, however, the two genes show a similar structural organization. Subunit IV is the largest nuclear encoded subunit which plays a pivotal role in COX regulation. [provided by RefSeq]
