Monoheme cytochromes ''c'' are involved in electron transport chains in both prokaryotes and eukaryotic mitochondria.<ref name=main /> They mediate the transfer of electrons mainly from the ''bc''<sub>1</sub> complexes, or their analogs, in the electron transport chain to heme-copper oxygen reductases (HCOs) during oxidative phosphorylation. | Monoheme cytochromes ''c'' are involved in electron transport chains in both prokaryotes and eukaryotic mitochondria.<ref name=main /> They mediate the transfer of electrons mainly from the ''bc''<sub>1</sub> complexes, or their analogs, in the electron transport chain to heme-copper oxygen reductases (HCOs) during oxidative phosphorylation. | ||
