Gene: [17p1/COX10] cytochrome c oxidase subunit X (heme A:farnecyltransferase) homolog of S.cerevisiae COX10; cytochrome oxidase deficiency, type ? (MIM:220110);

COM	An internal exon of the COX10 gene was found to be within one of the 24-kb repeat sequences that flank the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (GEM:17p112/PMP22) locus. This finding places the COX10 gene on Chr 17p12-p11.2 (Murakami-1997)."
FUN	The COX10 gene is suggested to play an important role in the farnesylation of protoheme (a prosthetic group of the cytochrome oxidase complex), and is a candidate gene in cytochrome oxidase deficiencies (Murakami-1997)."
EAG	The COX10 gene encodes a 443-amino acid protein with significant homology to the yeast and bacterial farnesyltransferases (Glerum-1994)."
GEN	The gene length: 135 kb; exons: 7 (Murakami-1997).
