Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 226139 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable oxidoreductase activity, acting on NAD(P)H, heme protein as acceptor and oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-CH group of donors. Predicted to be involved in cytochrome complex assembly and heme A biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leigh disease; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; and mitochondrial complex IV deficiency nuclear type 6. Orthologous to human COX15 (cytochrome c oxidase assembly homolog COX15). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
