Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia | 0.09 sec. |
cytochrome any of a class of hemoproteins, widely distributed in animal and plant tissue, whose main function is electron transport; distinguished according to their prosthetic group as a, b, c and d. cytochrome b5 reductase a flavoprotein involved in the desaturation of fatty acids in the liver. cytochrome oxidase an a type cytochrome which contains copper and receives electrons from another cytochrome, of the c type, and transfers them to oxygen atoms allowing the oxygen to combine with hydrogen atoms to form water. A nutritional deficiency of copper leads to a general reduction in metabolic rate because of the absence of cytochrome oxidase a. cytochrome system the sum of cytochromes which play a part in the body's metabolic processes. Includes the cytochrome oxidases and cytochrome reductases. How to thank TFD for its existence?

| These genes included succinate dehydrogenase (SDHC), cytochrome c oxidase (COX5B/ COX6B), and various genes of the ATP synthase complex (ATP5G1, ATP5C1, ATP5J, ATP5B, ATP5A1, ATP50, and ATP5F1). After years of trial and error, Hebert's team settled on a mitochondrial gene known as cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, or COI. We also mainly observed up-regulation of genes related with ion transporters including solute carrier family 34 (sodium phosphate), member 1 (Slc34a1, NaPi-II); and with electron transporters such as ATPase inhibitor, and cytochrome c oxidase, subunit IVa (Cox4a); subunit VIIIa (Cox8a); and subunit XVII assembly protein homolog (Cox 17). |
