Biochem/physiol Actions
The ready fluctuation of cytochrome c within the cell between ferrous and ferric states, makes it an efficient biological electron-transporter. It plays a vital role in cellular oxidations in both plants and animals. Generally regarded as a universal catalyst of respiration, it forms the essential electron-bridge between the respirable substrates and oxygen.
Preparation Note
Prepared without using TCA.
Quality
Care has been taken to maintain the native form of the protein. It has not been artificially oxidized or reduced during purification. Contains variable amounts of reduced cytochrome c.
