Cox7a2l (human) recombinant (partia l protein gst tag) 25 µg

Cytochrome c oxidase (COX), the terminal component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, catalyzes the electron transfer from reduced cytochrome c to oxygen. This component is a heteromeric complex consisting of 3 catalytic subunitéss encoded by mitochondrial genes and multiple structural subunitéss encoded by nuclear genes. The mitochondrially-encoded subunitéss function in electron transfer, and the nuclear-encoded subunitéss may function in the regulation and assembly of the complex. This nuclear gene encodes a protein similar to polypeptides 1 and 2 of subunités VIIa in the C-terminal region, and also highly similar to the mouse Sig81 protein sequence. This gene is expressed in all tissues, and upregulated in a breast cancer cell line after estrogen treatment. It is possible that this gene represents a regulatory subunités of COX and mediates the higher level of energy production in target cells by estrogen. [provided by RefSeq]
