SURF-1 Polyclonal Antibody

SURF1 encodes surfeit locus protein 1 localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane and thought to be involved in the biogenesis of the cytochrome c oxidase complex. Surfeit locus protein 1 is a member of the SURF1 family, which includes the related yeast protein SHY1 and rickettsial protein RP733. The gene is located in the surfeit gene cluster, a group of very tightly linked genes that do not share sequence similarity, where it shares a bidirectional promoter with SURF2 on the opposite strand. Defects in this gene are a cause of Leigh syndrome, a severe neurological disorder that is commonly associated with systemic cytochrome c oxidase deficiency.
