Question

How many amino acids are in cytochrome c?

Answer 1

Cytochrome c :

1. A tiny hemeprotein called the cytochrome complex, or cyt c is found loosely connected to the mitochondrion's inner membrane.
2. The life-sustaining process of ATP generation is one of cytochrome c's best-known uses in the mitochondria.
3. Cytochrome c is released into the cytosol in response to an apoptotic trigger, leading to apoptosis—programmed cell death.
4. Cytochrome c is made up of a single 104 amino acid peptide chain with a single heme covalently bound near the C-terminal.
