Cox10 - heme A:farnesyltransferase cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor 10

Predicted to enable farnesyltranstransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cytochrome complex assembly; heme A biosynthetic process; and mitochondrial fission. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in alimentary system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Used to study Parkinson's disease; cytochrome-c oxidase deficiency disease; and mitochondrial myopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cytochrome-c oxidase deficiency disease. Orthologous to human COX10 (cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor heme A:farnesyltransferase COX10). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
