Abstract excerpt
The COX7A1 gene encodes a heart- and muscle-specific isoform of the subunit VIIA of cytochrome c oxidase, which is the last component of the mitochondrial electron transfer chain. Cloning and characterization of the porcine COX7A1 gene revealed a highly conserved organization with respect to other mammalian COX7A1 orthologs. The porcine gene consists of four exons spanning approximately 1.5 kb and codes for a...
