Cytochrome C
Synonyms: Cyt C, Cytochrome C from porcine hearts, Cytochrome C from equine (horse) hearts, Cytochrome C from bovine hearts
CAS No.: 9007-43-6
EC NO.: 232-700-9
Cytochrome C is a soluble heme protein. Cytochrome C consists a chain of about 100 amino acids. It is an electron transfer mitochondrial protein, which transfers electrons between Coenzyme Q-Cytochrome C reductase and Cytochrome C oxidase in the electron transport chain. Cyt C is a reddish or red brown crystalline powder purified from bovine, porcine or equine hearts.
