Product Information
Name:Cytochrome C
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Cytochrome C is a heme protein, which is predominantly found in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. Its source is the electron transport chain, where it functions as an essential component in the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Cytochrome C facilitates the transfer of electrons between Complex III and Complex IV, a crucial step in cellular respiration.In addition to its role in energy production, Cytochrome C is involved in the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis. Upon release into the cytosol, it binds to Apaf-1, leading to the formation of the apoptosome and subsequent activation of caspases that drive the apoptotic cascade. This dual functionality makes Cytochrome C a critical molecule in both energy metabolism and programmed cell death.Researchers utilize Cytochrome C in various applications, including the study of electron transport mechanisms, assays to measure apoptosis, and investigations into mitochondrial disorders. Its role as an apoptotic marker also aids in cancer research, providing insights into cell death regulation.Molecular weight is approx 12,000Da.
