Comments
Comment typeDescription
Disease Note=Defects in COX14 may be a cause of a mitochondrial disorder presenting with severe congenital lactic acidosis and dysmorphic features associated with a COX assembly defect. Other features include brain hypertrophy, diffuse alteration of the white-matter myelination, and numerous cavities in the parieto- occipital region, brainstem, and cerebellum, as well as hepatomegaly, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, renal hypoplasia, and adrenal-gland hyperplasia. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22243966}.
Function Plays a role in the assembly or stability of the cytochrome c oxidase complex (COX). Requires for coordination of the early steps of COX assembly with the synthesis of MT-CO1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22243966, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22356826}.
Subcellular Location Mitochondrion membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22243966, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22356826}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22243966, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22356826}.
Subunit Component of some MITRAC complex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23260140}.
