Application
Cytochrome c is primarily known as an electron-carrying mitochondrial protein and is generally regarded as a universal catalyst of respiration. Cytochrome c can be used as a gel filtration molecular weight marker in gel filtration chromatography and protein chromatography and can be used to study cytochrome c control proteins, electron transport and cellular respiration.
The specific sites and extent of oxidation in horse cytochrome c treated with H2O2 and UV were characterized. It was suggested that the state of these sites could be used as a biomarker for the oxidative environment in a cell.
Biochem/physiol Actions
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

Carboxymethylation of equine heart cytochrome c (cytc) changes its tertiary structure by disrupting the heme-Fe-Met80 distal bond, such that carboxymethylated cytc (CM-cytc) displays myoglobin-like properties. Here, the effect of cardiolipin (CL) on peroxynitrite isomerization by ferric CM-cytc (CM-cytc-Fe(III)) is reported.

In cells a portion of cytochrome c (cyt c) (15-20%) is tightly bound to cardiolipin (CL), one of the phospholipids constituting the mitochondrial membrane. The CL-bound protein, which has nonnative tertiary structure, altered heme pocket, and disrupted Fe(III)-M80 axial bond

Tumor associated neutrophils (TANs) are frequently detected in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Recent studies also reveal the importance of neutrophils in promoting tumor progression and metastasis during breast cancer. However, the mechanisms regulating neutrophil trafficking to breast tumors are less
