SCO2

SCO2 cytochrome c oxidase assembly (also known as SCO2 homolog, mitochondrial and SCO cytochrome oxidase deficient homolog 2) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the SCO2 is_associated_with::gene.

Mutations in this gene that alter the regulation of copper and oxygen levels are associated with a severe COX deficiency in is_associated_with::striated muscle, an early onset fatal cardiac is_associated_with::encephalomyopathy, and a severe form of is_associated_with::nearsightedness.
