  Cytochrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cytochromes are generally membrane-bound proteins that contain heme groups and carry out electron transport or catalyse reductive/oxidative reactions.
Cytochromes are thus capable of performing oxidation and reduction.
Because the cytochromes (as well as other complexes) are held within membranes in an organized way, the redox reactions are carried out in the proper sequence for maximum efficiency.

 Cytochrome P450 oxidase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Cytochrome P450 oxidase (commonly abbreviated CYP) is a generic term for a large number of related, but distinct, oxidative enzymes (EC 1.14) important in animal physiology.
Cytochrome P450 sequence homologs have been determined in all lineages of life, including mammals, birds, fish, insects, worms, sea squirts, sea urchins, plants, fungi, slime molds, bacteria and archaea.
Cytochromes P450 are present in many other tissues of the body including the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, and play important roles in hormone synthesis and breakdown (including estrogen and testosterone synthesis and metabolism), cholesterol synthesis, and vitamin D metabolism.

 Cytochrome C ELISA Kit: APT200
Cytochrome c functions in the respiratory chain by interacting with redox partners of complex III and complex IV (Hatefi 1985; Mathews 1985).
Cytochrome c participates in the formation of a cytosolic complex which is composed of cytochrome c itself (Apaf-2, 15 kDa), Apoptosis protease-activating factor (Apaf-1, 130 kDa) and caspase-9 (Apaf-3, 46 kDa).
Cytochrome c present in the sample or standard binds to the antibodies adsorbed on the plate; a biotin-conjugated monoclonal anti-cytochrome c antibody is added and binds to cytochrome c captured by the first antibody.

Cytochrome C is an electron transporting protein that resides within the intermembrane space of the mitochondria, where it plays a critical role in the process of oxidative phosphorylation and production of cellular ATP.
Following exposure to apoptotic stimuli, cytochrome C is rapidly released from the mitochondria into the cytosol, an event which may be required for the completion of apoptosis in some systems.
Cytosolic cytochrome C functions in the activation of caspase 3, an ICE family molecule that is a key effector of apoptosis.

Cytochrome c oxidase plays a vital role in oxidative phosphorylation: it is where the electrons reach their final acceptor.
The importance of cytochrome c oxidase is its role as a thermodynamic force for oxidative phosphorylation and its ability to contain dangerous partially reduced intermediates, superoxides, which can cause genetic and tissue damage.
Cytochrome c oxidase also affects aggregation of beta amyloid peptide which leads to plaque in the brain which is associated with the Alzheimer's disease.

 CE: Cytochrome P450 Enzymes
The term "cytochrome P450" refers to a group of enzymes that are responsible for, among other things, the metabolism of many of the drugs in use today.
Drugs that inhibit a certain cytochrome P450 enzyme are not necessarily metabolized by that enzyme, and by the same token, drugs that are metabolized by an enzyme do not necessarily inhibit that enzyme.
The cytochrome P450 enzymes are the most important drug-metabolizing enzymes in humans, and as such, play a major role in many drug-drug and drug-food interactions.

Cytochrome c, ~13 kDa and 105 amino acids long, is a nuclear-encoded component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain that is imported as an apoenzyme into mitochondria, where it is converted to the mature form by the addition of a heme group.
In addition to its role in oxidative phosphorylation, the release of Cytochrome c from the mitochondrial intermembrane space to the cytosol results in nuclear apoptosis.
Binding of APAF1 to Cytochrome c allows APAF1 to form a ternary complex with and activate the initiator Procaspase-9 in the presence of dATP.

Mutations in the membrane anchor of yeast cytochrome c1 compensate for the absence of Oxa1p and generate carbonate-extractable forms of cytochrome c1.
The suppressor mutations correspond to various amino acid substitutions, all located in the membrane anchor of cytochrome c1 and we have shown that in addition to membrane-bound cytochrome c1, fast-migrating carbonate-extractable forms accumulate in all the suppressor strains.
The cytochrome c1 double mutant still retains the suppressor activity suggesting that the suppressor function is independent of the electron transfer activity.
