CRITHIDIA FASCICULATA CYTOCHROME C
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 19459937
Function
[CYC_CRIFA] Electron carrier protein. The oxidized form of the cytochrome c heme group can accept an electron from the heme group of the cytochrome c1 subunit of cytochrome reductase. Cytochrome c then transfers this electron to the cytochrome oxidase complex, the final protein carrier in the mitochondrial electron-transport chain.
About this Structure
