Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cyclooxygenase pathway; negative regulation of protein kinase B signaling; and regulation of cytochrome-c oxidase activity. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion and myofibril. Predicted to be integral component of mitochondrial inner membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cytochrome-c oxidase deficiency disease. Orthologous to human SCO1 (synthesis of cytochrome C oxidase 1).
