NCIt synonyms : COX Complex IV Subunit I; MT-CO1; EC 7.1.1.9; COX1; Cytochrome C Oxidase I; Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit I; Cytochrome C Oxidase Polypeptide I; EC 1.9.3.1, Formerly;
NCIt definition : Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (513 aa, 57 kDa) is encoded by the human MT-CO1 gene.
This protein plays a role in the final step of oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondrion.;
NCIt note : Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 is the catalytic subunit of the last enzyme in the
mitochondrial electron transport chain, cytochrome c oxidase. Cytochrome c catalyzes
the transfer of electrons from reduced cytochrome c to oxygen and yields water. (OMIM);
