S. purpuratus

cox17 This gene has been characterized in the lab of Kate Buckley by Nick Kraieski. The cox17 protein sequence was identified using BLAST of the human COX17 protein sequence against Echinoderm protein which returned a hit to P. miniata LOC119744863/XP_038076971.1 with the description cytochrome c oxidase copper chaperone-like. The P. miniata protein sequence, XP_038076971.1, was then BLASTed against S. purpuratus with a hit to scaffold 21, NW_022145607.1. The H. sapiens protein sequence, AAF82569.1, hit 2 regions of scaffold 21, NW_022145607.1. A hypothetical ORF was constructed from this location information, and then PCR amplified it from cDNA.
