Cbb3-type cytochrome c oxidase subunit CcoN1

UniProtKB accession:  D9IA43

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Cbb3-type cytochrome c oxidase is the component of the respiratory chain that catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water. Subunits CcoN and CcoO form the functional core of the enzyme complex. Subunits CcoP and CcoQ may optionally bind to the core. CcoN is the catalytic subunit of the enzyme. Electrons originating in cytochrome c or a quinol are transferred to the bimetallic center formed by a high-spin heme and copper B. The complex also functions as a proton pump.
