SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,mitochondria
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,membrane

basic FUNCTION	catalyzing the synthesis of cytochrome C oxidase 2
	mitochondrial inner membrane protein that probably functions as a copper transporter, involved in mitochondria copper delivery
	functioning as copper-binding protein
	essential for the assembly of the catalytic core of cytochrome oxidase (COX)
	involved in copper supply for the assembly of cytochrome c oxidase in eukaryotes (Banci 2007)
	SCO2 acts upstream of SCO1, and that it is indispensable for CO II synthesis
	cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor, is a metallochaperone which is involved in the biogenesis of cytochrome c oxidase subunit II
	might possess a novel tumor suppressor function via the ROS-MAP3K5 kinase pathway and thus could be an important candidate for anticancer gene therapy
	SCO1 and SCO2 are metallochaperones whose principal function is to add two copper ions to the catalytic core of cytochrome c oxidase (COX)
	copper chaperone integral to oxygen reduction catalysis by cytochrome c oxidase of the mitochondrial respiratory chain
	important for cytochrome C oxidase (COX) synthesis
	copper homeostasis protein influential in mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase activity
	may play an important role in eye growth and development, particularly in those who become highly myopic

	copper Cu2+

protein	interacting with SCO1 for copper delivery to cytochrome C oxidase
	TP53 can modulate the metabolic pathways via the proteins SCO2 and TIGAR in human breast cancer
	COX20 cooperates with SCO1 and SCO2 to mature COX2 and promote the assembly of cytochrome c oxidase
