    basic FUNCTION
  • terminal component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain that catalyzes the electron transfer from reduced cytochrome c to oxygen
  • catalyzes the conversion of protoheme (heme B) to heme O via the farnesylation of a vinyl group at position C2 in the first step of the mitochondrial heme A biosynthetic
  • involved in heme A biosynthesis

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • COX10-null mice have only 20-40% of wild-type mitochondrial function and the transgenic overexpressionof PGC-1a in these mice restores full mitochondrial function
  • COX10-/- mice treated with bezafibrate have 85% of WT OxPhos activity and their muscle function is improved compared with untreated littermates
