Function. Acts as a translational activator of mitochondrially-encoded cytochrome c oxidase 1.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion.
Disease relevance. Mitochondrial complex IV deficiency, nuclear type 8 (MC4DN8) [MIM:619052] An autosomal recessive mitochondrial disorder characterized by slowly progressive cognitive dysfunction, dystonia or visual impairment that appear after an uneventful early childhood. Additional features include gait difficulties, spasticity, dysarthria, hypotonia, and variable intellectual disability. Brain imaging shows white matter abnormalities in the basal ganglia. Serum lactate levels are increased. Patient tissues show decreased levels and activity of mitochondrial respiratory complex IV. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the TACO1 family.
