背景资料：MOSC1 (MOCO sulphurase C-terminal domain containing 1), also known as MARC1, is a 337 amino acid mitochondrial protein that is thought to function as an oxidoreductase. Existing as three alternatively spliced isoforms, MOSC1 contains one MOSC domain and binds molybdenum as a cofactor. The gene encoding MOSC1 maps to human chromosome 1, which spans 260 million base pairs, contains over 3,000 genes and comprises nearly 8% of the human genome.
