HCCS holocytochrome c synthase

Gene ID: 3052, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MLS; CCHL; MCOPS7; LSDMCA1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that covalently links a heme group to the apoprotein of cytochrome c. Defects in this gene are a cause of microphthalmia syndromic type 7 (MCOPS7). Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
