Gene: SCO2

Alternate names for this Gene: CEMCOX1|ECGF1|Gliostatin|MC4DN2|MYP6|PD-ECGF|SCO1L|TP|TYMP|TdRPase

Gene Summary: Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) catalyzes the transfer of electrons from cytochrome c to molecular oxygen, which helps to maintain the proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane that is necessary for aerobic ATP production. Human COX is a multimeric protein complex that requires several assembly factors; this gene encodes one of the COX assembly factors. The encoded protein is a metallochaperone that is involved in the biogenesis of cytochrome c oxidase subunit II. Mutations in this gene are associated with fatal infantile encephalocardiomyopathy and myopia 6.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 22

Location in Chromosome : 22q13.33

Description of this Gene: synthesis of cytochrome C oxidase 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: TYMP

Alternate names for this Gene: ECGF|ECGF1|MEDPS1|MNGIE|MTDPS1|PDECGF|TP|hPD-ECGF

Gene Summary: This gene encodes an angiogenic factor which promotes angiogenesis in vivo and stimulates the in vitro growth of a variety of endothelial cells. It has a highly restricted target cell specificity acting only on endothelial cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 22

Location in Chromosome : 22q13.33

Description of this Gene: thymidine phosphorylase

Type of Gene: protein-coding
