Gene: SURF1

Alternate names for this Gene: CMT4K|MC4DN1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane and thought to be involved in the biogenesis of the cytochrome c oxidase complex. The protein is a member of the SURF1 family, which includes the related yeast protein SHY1 and rickettsial protein RP733. The gene is located in the surfeit gene cluster, a group of very tightly linked genes that do not share sequence similarity, where it shares a bidirectional promoter with SURF2 on the opposite strand. Defects in this gene are a cause of Leigh syndrome, a severe neurological disorder that is commonly associated with systemic cytochrome c oxidase deficiency.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9q34.2

Description of this Gene: SURF1 cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: SURF2

Alternate names for this Gene: SURF-2

Gene Summary: This gene shares a bidirectional promoter with surfeit 1 (SURF1; GeneID: 6834), which is located on the opposite strand. It encodes a conserved protein that is expressed in a variety of tissues.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9q34.2
