Cytochrome c Group
| Definition: |
A group of cytochromes with covalent thioether linkages between either or both of the vinyl side chains of protoheme and the protein. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p539) |
| Notes: |
spell in titles & translations with lowercase c: cytochrome c; do not confuse with CYTOCHROMES C |
| Previously Indexed: |
Cytochromes (1966-1972) |
Cytochrome c Group Categories.
 |
Cytochromes c - Cytochromes of the c type that are found in eukaryotic MITOCHONDRIA. They serve as redox intermediates that accept electrons from MITOCHONDRIAL ELECTRON TRANSPORT COMPLEX III and transfer them to MITOCHONDRIAL ELECTRON TRANSPORT COMPLEX IV. |
|
Cytochromes c' - A widely occuring subclass of c type cytochromes which function as electron carriers in the electron transport chain in photosynthetic and denitrifying BACTERIA. |
|
Cytochromes c1 - The 30-kD membrane-bound c-type cytochrome protein of mitochondria that functions as an electron donor to CYTOCHROME C GROUP in the mitochondrial and bacterial RESPIRATORY CHAIN. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p545) |
|
Cytochromes c2 - Type C cytochromes that are small (12-14 kD) single-heme proteins. They function as mobile electron carriers between membrane-bound enzymes in photosynthetic BACTERIA. |
|
Cytochromes c6 - Cytochromes of the c type that are involved in the transfer of electrons from CYTOCHROME B6F COMPLEX and PHOTOSYSTEM I. |
