Gene Information

Application

Cytochrome c polymerization occurs by successive domain swapping, which may be a common mechanism of protein polymerization. Cytochrome c has been used in a study to establish that an optimized pulsed-Q dissociation and collision-activated dissociation hybrid workflow may have wide applications in biological and biomedical research.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cytochrome c has been identified as an important mediator in apoptotic pathways. The release of mitochondrial cytochrome c into the cytoplasm stimulates apoptosis and is commonly used as an indicator of the apoptotic process in the cell.
Cytochrome c is primarily known as an electron-carrying mitochondrial protein. The transition of cytochrome c between the ferrous and ferric states within the cell makes it an efficient biological electron-transporter and it plays a vital role in cellular oxidations in both plants and animals. It is generally regarded as a universal catalyst of respiration, forming an essential electron-bridge between the respirable substrates and oxygen

beta-Lapachone (ARQ 501, a formulation of beta-lapachone complexed with hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin) is a novel anticancer agent with selectivity against prostate cancer cells overexpressing the NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase-1 enzyme. Lack of solubility and an efficient drug delivery strategy limits this compound in clinical

Cytochrome c (cyt c) is a stable protein that functions in a monomeric state as an electron donor for cytochrome c oxidase. It is also released to the cytosol when permeabilization of the mitochondrial outer membrane occurs at the early
