COX20 [ENSP00000355486]
Cytochrome c oxidase assembly protein COX20, mitochondrial; Essential for the assembly of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV (CIV), also known as cytochrome c oxidase . Acts as a chaperone in the early steps of cytochrome c oxidase subunit II (MT-CO2/COX2) maturation, stabilizing the newly synthesized protein and presenting it to metallochaperones SCO1/2 which in turn facilitates the incorporation of the mature MT-CO2/COX2 into the assembling CIV holoenzyme .
Synonyms: COX20, COX20p, hCOX20, B3KM21, FAM36A ...
