Description:
Cytochrome c, or cyt c is a small heme protein found loosely associated with the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. It belongs to the cytochrome c family of proteins. Cytochrome c is a highly soluble protein, unlike other cytochromes, with a solubility of about 100 g/L and is an essential component of the electron transport chain, where it carries one electron. It is capable of undergoing oxidation and reduction, but does not bind oxygen. It transfers electrons between Complexes III and IV. In humans, cytochrome c is encoded by the CYCS gene.
Cytochrome C has been reduced to scattered acicular crystals and oxidized pepetal crystals, both of which are soluble in water and acid solution, the former in peach color and the latter in deep red color. It's stable for heat. The former is more stable than the latter, with a molecular weight of about 11,000 to 13,000.
Cytochrome C is cytorespiratory activation drug. It can promote the oxidation and reduction of cells in tissue. Used in first aid or auxiliary treatment for tissue hypoxia caused by various reasons. Anti-cancer drugs caused by the white blood cell reduction, limb circulation disorders, liver disease, nephritis also has a certain therapeutic effect.
The succinic acid coenzyme A from the tricarboxylic acid cycle has only 104 amino acids in its peptide chain, which is abundant in the body and needs no external supplement. Cytochrome C is a very important electron transporter of biological oxidation, which is lined up with other oxidases on the mitochondria to form a respiratory chain to participate in the cellular respiration process. Cytochrome C can enter human cells when liver cells are inflamed. Can treat liver failure, increase cell oxidation, improve oxygen utilization. It's an iron-containing binding protein that has antigens.
