Protein
Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 2
Organism
Rattus norvegicus
Function
Cytochrome 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.
Similarity
Belongs to the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 2 family.
