DBH-like monooxygenase protein 1 (monooxygenase X, MOXD1, MOX, UNQ2493/PRO5780)

Function: - may play role in biosynthesis of norepinephrine Cofactor: binds 2 copper ions per subunit (putative) Structure: - belongs to the copper type II ascorbate-dependent monooxygenase family - contains 1 DOMON domain - N-glycosylated (putative) Compartment: endoplasmic reticulum membrane (putative) Alternative splicing: named isoforms=2 Expression: - highly expressed in lung, kidney, brain & spinal cord - expressed in fetal liver & fetal brain - induced by replicative senescence (terminal differentiation) in fibroblasts [2] Genetics: - gene located on chromosome 6q24, a region linked with exceptional episodic memory in SuperAgers [3]
