Other Information

**Key Characteristics** COX6C is a mitochondrial protein that belongs to the cytochrome c oxidase family. It is a small subunit of the cytochrome c oxidase complex, which is the terminal enzyme of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. The COX6C gene encodes a 51-amino acid protein that is highly conserved across species, suggesting its essential role in maintaining cellular function. The protein is localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it interacts with other subunits to facilitate electron transfer and ATP production. **Pathways and Functions** COX6C is involved in several critical cellular processes, including: 1. **Cellular Respiration**: COX6C plays a key role in the electron transport chain, where it helps to generate ATP through the transfer of electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen. 2. **Cytoprotection**: COX6C is involved in the regulation of mitochondrial function and has been implicated in the protection of cells against oxidative stress and damage. 3. **Metabolism**: COX6C is essential for the production of ATP, which is necessary for various cellular processes, including energy-dependent transport and biosynthesis. 4. **Regulation of Gene Expression**: COX6C has been shown to interact with transcription factors, such as TP53, to regulate the expression of genes involved in metabolism and energy production. **Clinical Significance** Dysregulation of COX6C has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Mitochondrial Disorders**: Mutations in the COX6C gene have been associated with mitochondrial disorders, such as Leigh syndrome, which is characterized by progressive neurological deterioration and death. 2. **Cancer**: Overexpression of COX6C has been observed in certain types of cancer, including lung and breast cancer, suggesting its potential role in tumor progression and metastasis. 3. **Cardiovascular Disease**: COX6C has been implicated in the development of cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis and heart failure, due to its role in energy production and oxidative stress regulation. 4. **Neurodegenerative Diseases**: COX6C has been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, due to its involvement in energy production and oxidative stress regulation. In conclusion, COX6C is a critical component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, playing a pivotal role in cellular respiration, cytoprotection, and metabolism. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the importance of this gene in maintaining cellular homeostasis and overall health.
