COX7B2

Description

The COX7B2 (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 7B2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 4.

COX7B2 is a subunit of cytochrome c oxidase (COX), the terminal enzyme of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. COX catalyzes the transfer of electrons from reduced cytochrome c to molecular oxygen, producing water. This process is essential for oxidative phosphorylation, which generates ATP, the main energy currency of the cell. COX7B2 contributes to the assembly and stability of COX, ensuring efficient electron transfer and oxygen reduction.

COX7B2 is also known as -.
