Identification
NameCytochrome c oxidase subunit 2
Synonyms
  • Cytochrome c oxidase polypeptide II
Gene NameCOX2
Enzyme Class
Biological Properties
General FunctionInvolved in copper ion binding
Specific FunctionCytochrome c oxidase is the component of the respiratory chain that catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water. Subunits 1- 3 form the functional core of the enzyme complex. Subunit 2 transfers the electrons from cytochrome c via its binuclear copper A center to the bimetallic center of the catalytic subunit 1
