Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * The COX8A gene is located on chromosome 15q21.1. * It is a large gene, encoding for a protein of 1,258 amino acids. * The protein is a subunit of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase complex, which is responsible for the transfer of electrons from the electron transport chain to oxygen. * The COX8A protein is expressed in a variety of cell types, including monocyte, macrophage, myoepithelial, and renal cells. **Pathways and functions:** * The COX8A protein is involved in the citric acid (tca) cycle and the respiratory electron transport chain. * It is also involved in the generation of precursor metabolites and energy, and in the protection of cells from stress. * The COX8A protein is a key regulator of cellular respiration, and its expression is controlled by a variety of factors, including growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the COX8A gene have been linked to a number of human diseases, including heart disease, stroke, and cancer. * These mutations can lead to the production of a defective COX8A protein that is unable to function properly. * This can result in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can damage cells and tissues. * Research on COX8A is therefore an active area of investigation, with the potential to lead to new therapies for a variety of diseases.
