ID:SCO2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Protein SCO2 homolog, mitochondrial; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Acts as a copper chaperone, transporting copper to the Cu(A) site on the cytochrome c oxidase subunit II (COX2). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Mitochondrion. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous. DISEASE: Defects in SCO2 are the cause of fatal infantile cardioencephalomyopathy with cytochrome c oxidase deficiency (FIC) [MIM:604377]. This disease is characterized by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and gliosis. Heart and skeletal muscle show reductions in cytochrome c oxidase (COX) activity, whereas liver and fibroblasts show mild COX deficiencies. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the SCO1/2 family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 thioredoxin domain. WEB RESOURCE: Name=GeneReviews; URL="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/GeneTests/lab/gene/SCO2";
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
