Cox6a2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable enzyme regulator activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial electron transport, cytochrome c to oxygen. Located in mitochondrion. Part of respiratory chain complex IV. Is active in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; heart; limb; and musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial complex IV deficiency nuclear type 18. Orthologous to human COX6A2 (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6A2).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Cox6a2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
