    GlossaryMT-CO1 (Mitochondrially Encoded Cytochrome C Oxidase I)

    encodes a key enzyme subunit for cellular energy production

    MT-CO1, also known as Mitochondrially Encoded Cytochrome C Oxidase I, is a gene found in mitochondrial DNA that encodes a key subunit of the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase. This enzyme is crucial for the electron transport chain, which is a series of reactions that produce energy in the form of ATP within cells. Mutations in MT-CO1 can affect cellular energy production and are associated with various mitochondrial disorders.
