DESCRIPTION

Also known as SCO1_HUMAN, SCO1, SCOD1. Copper metallochaperone essential for the maturation of cytochrome c oxidase subunit II (MT-CO2/COX2). Not required for the synthesis of MT-CO2/COX2 but plays a crucial role in stabilizing MT-CO2/COX2 during its subsequent maturation. Involved in transporting copper to the Cu(A) site on MT-CO2/COX2 (PubMed:15659396, PubMed:16735468, PubMed:17189203, PubMed:19336478, PubMed:15229189). Plays an important role in the regulation of copper homeostasis by controlling the abundance and cell membrane localization of copper transporter CTR1 (By similarity). Homodimer (PubMed:16735468, PubMed:15229189). Interacts with COA6 (PubMed:26160915). Found in a complex with TMEM177, COX20, COA6, MT-CO2/COX2, COX18 and SCO2 (PubMed:29154948). Interacts with TMEM177 in a COX20-dependent manner (PubMed:29154948). Interacts with COX20 in a MT-CO2/COX2- and COX18-dependent manner (PubMed:29154948, PubMed:24403053, PubMed:28330871). Interacts with COX16 (PubMed:29381136).
