GENE INFORMATION
Gene name

Synonyms
C2orf64, FLJ27524, MGC52110, Pet191
Description
Cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes an ortholog of yeast Pet191, which in yeast is a subunit of a large oligomeric complex associated with the mitochondrial inner membrane, and required for the assembly of the cytochrome c oxidase complex. Mutations in this gene are associated with mitochondrial complex IV deficiency, a disorder of the mitochondrial respiratory chain with heterogeneous clinical manifestations, ranging from isolated myopathy to a severe disease affecting several tissues and organs.
