'''Cytochrome ''c''''' (cyt ''c'') is a superfamily of proteins belonging to the class of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-α_proteins all-α proteins] with a core of helices and a covalently-bound [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heme heme prosthetic group].<ref>SCOP http://scop.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/scop-1.75/data/scop.b.b.i.b.html</ref><ref name=main /> The cytochrome ''c'' superfamily contains many different families including monodomain and multi-domain C-type cytochromes (ex. [http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/1etp cyt c4], a two-domain C-type cytochrome, and [http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/2ozy NrfB], a pentaheme C-type cytochrome). This page focuses mainly on the cytochrome ''c'' superfamily, briefly discussing various types within the superfamily. The monoheme cytochrome ''c'' will be discussed in greater detail than other C-type cytochromes.
