COX10 Proteins and Enzymes

Cytochrome c oxidase assembly homolog 10 (COX10), also known as protoheme IX farnesyltransferase, mitochondrial, is a member of the UbiA prenyltransferase family. This protein converts protoheme 9 (IX) and farnexyl diphosphate to heme O. COX10 is required for the expression of functional COX and functions in the maturation of the heme A prosthetic group of COX. Mutations to the COX10 gene have been linked to cytochrome c oxidase deficiency also known as mitochondrial complex IV deficiency ...
