Heme A and less frequently heme O function as prosthetic groups of heme-copper respiratory oxidases(Rivett et al. 2021). Mitochondrial protoheme IX farnesyltransferase (COX10) mediates the transformation of protoheme IX (heme) and farnesyl diphosphate (FAPP) to heme O (Glerum & Tzagoloff 1994). COX10 is highly expressed in muscle, heart and brain (Murakami et al. 1997).
