HCCS, Official Symbol HCCSprovided by HGNC Official Full Name holocytochrome c synthaseprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:4837 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000004961 MIM:300056; AllianceGenome:HGNC:4837 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as MLS; CCHL; MCOPS7; LSDMCA1 Summary The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that covalently links a heme group to the apoprotein of cytochrome c. Defects in this gene are a cause of microphthalmia syndromic type 7 (MCOPS7). Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
