Cox5b Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable metal ion binding 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; genitourinary system; heart; skeleton; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human COX5B (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 5B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Cox5b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
