High impact information on COX6A1

  • Nonsynonymous (amino acid replacement) substitutions in the COX6AH gene occurred more frequently than in the ubiquitously expressed COX6AL gene [1].
  • Monocular impulse blockade in adult monkeys induced a downregulation of COX6A1 expression in deprived visual neurons, suggesting that this subunit gene is regulated by neuronal activity [2].
  • COX6A1 cDNA was isolated from a human brain cDNA library, and the sequence was identical to that of human liver [2].
  • 2. We compared the COX6A1 gene with the published cDNA and several ESTs and concluded that subunit COX VIa-L is synthesized as a preprotein, as are other COX subunits [2].
  • Assignment of COX6A1 to 6p21 and a pseudogene (COX6A1P) to 1p31.1 by in situ hybridization and somatic cell hybrids [3].
