COX18 cytochrome c oxidase assembly homolog (S. cerevisiae)
Gene Summary
COX18 is required for the insertion of integral membrane proteins into the mitochondrial inner membrane. COX18 is essential for the activity and assembly of cytochrome c oxidase. COX18 plays a central role in the translocation and export of the C-terminal part of the COX2 protein into the mitochondrial intermembrane space.
