Name

COX16 Gene

COX16 cytochrome c oxidase assembly homolog (S. cerevisiae)

Involved in mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase assembly. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Implicated in mitochondrial complex IV deficiency nuclear type 22. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

SYNJ2BP-COX16 Gene

SYNJ2BP-COX16 readthrough

This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring SYNJ2BP (synaptojanin 2 binding protein) and COX16 (COX16 cytochrome c oxidase assembly homolog (S. cerevisiae)) genes on chromosome 14. The read-through transcript produces a fusion protein that shares sequence identity with each individual gene product. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
