  • Flavocytochrome c or flavocytochrome c sulphide dehydrogenase or Fcc catalyzes the conversion of H2S and ferricytochrome c to S and ferrocytochrome c.
  • Fcc3 has fumarate reductase activity[1]
  • Flavocytochrome b2 is a L-lactate/cytochrome c oxidoreductase[2]
  • Flavocytochrome b558 is the catalytic component of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase

Structure of heme-containing flavocytochrome c3 complex with FAD and fumaric acid (PDB code 2b7r[3]).
