Function

Function:
Cytochrome c oxidase is the component of the respiratory chain that catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water. Subunits 1-3 form the functional core of the enzyme complex. CO I is the catalytic subunit of the enzyme. Electrons originating in cytochrome c are transferred via the copper A center of subunit 2 and heme A of subunit 1 to the bimetallic center formed by heme A3 and copper B.
Pathway:
Energy metabolism; oxidative phosphorylation.
Catalytic Activity:
4 ferrocytochrome c + O(2) + 4 H(+) = 4 ferricytochrome c + 2 H(2)O.
