Description
Product Characteristics: FUNCTION: Cytochrome c oxidase is the component of the respiratory chain that catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water. Subunits 1-3 form the functional core of the enzyme complex. CO I is the catalytic subunit of the enzyme. Electrons originating in cytochrome c are transferred via the copper A center of subunit 2 and heme A of subunit 1 to the bimetallic center formed by heme A3 and copper B. Subcellular location: Mitochondrion inner membrane, Multi-pass membrane protein.,Subcellular Markers,COX1, Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1, Cytochrome c oxidase polypeptide I, COI, MTCO1
