Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables protoheme IX farnesyltransferase activity. Involved in heme O biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including copper ion homeostasis; heme A biosynthetic process; and mitochondrial fission. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in alimentary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and submandibular gland primordium. Used to study Parkinson's disease; cytochrome-c oxidase deficiency disease; and mitochondrial myopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial complex IV deficiency nuclear type 3. Orthologous to human COX10 (cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor heme A:farnesyltransferase COX10).
