    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the biogenesis of an active cytochrome c oxidase complex
  • having a direct role in heme a cofactor insertion into COX subunit I by providing a protein-bound heme a pool
  • appears to be involved in the early step of COX assembly
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS respiration , electron transport

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • SURF1(-/-) mouse fibroblasts were characterized by low content of COX1 assembly intermediates and milder decrease in COX monomer, which appeared more stable
  • mice carrying a homozygous knockout (KO) of the Surf1 gene showed a significant decrease in mitochondrial electron transport chain Complex IV activity, yet displayed increased lifespan and reduced brain damage after excitotoxic insults
