Protein sy'n cael ei godio yn y corff dynol gan y genyn COX17 yw COX17 a elwir hefyd yn Cytochrome c oxidase copper chaperone a COX17, cytochrome c oxidase copper chaperone (Saesneg). Segment o DNA yw'r genyn, sy'n amgodio ffwythiant arbennig. Mae'r genyn yma wedi ei leoli ar yr edefyn ôl o gromosom dynol 3, band 3q13.33.[2]
