Monoheme cytochromes ''c'' are involved in electron transport chains in both prokaryotes and eukaryotic mitochondria. Electrons are mainly carried from the ''bc''<sub>1</sub> complexes in the electron transport chain, or their analogs, to heme-copper oxygen reductases (HCOs) during oxidative phosphorylation. | |||
The heme ''c'' containing domains are often found fused to other protein domains, including those in the ''caa''<sub>3</sub> oxygen reductases; these enzymes are membrane-bound and catalyze the reduction of O<sub>2</sub> to water.<ref>DOI:10.1007/s00775-003-0509-9</ref> | |||
