BOLC102_CTG000490P000770.1_BOLC102_V1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BOLC102_CTG000490P000770.1_BOLC102_V1 in cabbage (Brassica oleracea) encodes a cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1, a component of respiratory chain complex IV. The gene product exhibits cytochrome-c oxidase activity, heme binding, and metal binding, and is localized to the mitochondrial inner membrane. It is associated with mitochondrial electron transport from cytochrome c to oxygen, electron transport coupled proton transport, oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic respiration, and sexual reproduction. The gene has also been linked to heterosis. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to cytoplasmic male sterility and chlorophyll content, though these associations are not established for this specific cabbage gene.
