COX7A2 - cytochrome c oxidase subunit 7A2 Gene
Also Known as VIIAL; COX7AL; COX7AL1; COXVIIAL; COXVIIa-L
Species: Homo sapiens
About COX7A2
This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 304 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 131.2), colon (RPKM 111.8) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
Cytochrome c oxidase, the terminal component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, catalyzes the electron transfer from reduced cytochrome c to oxygen. This component is a heteromeric complex consisting of three catalytic subunits encoded by mitochondrial genes, and multiple structural subunits encoded by nuclear genes. The mitochondrially-encoded subunits function in electron transfer, while the nuclear-encoded subunits may function in the regulation and assembly of the complex. This nuclear gene encodes polypeptide 2 (liver isoform) of subunit VIIa, with this polypeptide being present in both muscle and non-muscle tissues. In addition to polypeptide 2, subunit VIIa includes polypeptide 1 (muscle isoform), which is present only in muscle tissues, and a related protein, which is present in all tissues. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 4 and 14. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
