Nuclear-encoded subunits of human cytochrome c oxidase: SstI restriction fragment length polymorphism

Human Genetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A DNA polymorphism of the nuclear-encoded subunit Va of the human cytochrome c oxidase (COX), a mitochondrial respiratory enzyme, is reported. No polymorphism was detected in genes for the subunits IV and Vb of the same enzyme.
