Anti-Cytochrome C/CYCS Antibody Picoband®

CYCS is also known as CYC, HCS or THC4. This gene encodes a small heme protein that functions as a central component of the electron transport chain in mitochondria. The encoded protein associates with the inner membrane of the mitochondrion where it accepts electrons from cytochrome b and transfers them to the cytochrome oxidase complex. This protein is also involved in initiation of apoptosis. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant nonsyndromic thrombocytopenia. Numerous processed pseudogenes of this gene are found throughout the human genome.

E.coli-derived human Cytochrome C recombinant protein (Position: G2-E105) . Human Cytochrome C shares 91% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat Cytochrome C.

Electron carrier protein. The oxidized form of the cytochrome c heme group can accept an electron from the heme group of the cytochrome c1 subunit of cytochrome reductase. Cytochrome c then transfers this electron to the cytochrome oxidase complex, the final protein carrier in the mitochondrial electron-transport chain.
