Cytochrome c isoform 1

UniProtKB accession:  P00044

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  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 ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase. Cytochrome c then transfers this electron to the dinuclear copper A center (CU(A)) of the COX2 subunit of cytochrome oxidase, the final protein carrier in the mitochondrial electron-transport chain. Isoform 1 (CYC1) is the predominant cytochrome c during aerobic/normoxic growth.
