Target data

Function

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. Plays a role in apoptosis. Suppression of the anti-apoptotic members or activation of the pro-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family leads to altered mitochondrial membrane permeability resulting in release of cytochrome c into the cytosol. Binding of cytochrome c to Apaf-1 triggers the activation of caspase-9, which then accelerates apoptosis by activating other caspases.

Activity summary

Cytochrome C also referred to as "cytochrome c" or "Cyt C" is a small protein with a molecular weight of approximately 12 kDa. It is a component of the electron transport chain playing an essential mechanical role in cellular respiration. Cytochrome C is expressed in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells where it functions as a heme protein. The mass of this protein allows efficient electron transfer between Complex III (cytochrome bc1 complex) and Complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase) contributing to ATP synthesis.

Biological function summary

Cytochrome c contributes to the process of oxidative phosphorylation within mitochondria. It is not only an important electron carrier but it also plays a significant role in apoptosis. In the event of cellular stress cytochrome c releases into the cytosol and forms part of the apoptosome complex. This apoptosome activation leads to the caspase cascade driving programmed cell death. Therefore cytochrome C serves as both a mediator of energy production and a regulator of apoptosis.

Pathways

Cytochrome c is integral to the mitochondrial electron transport chain and apoptotic pathways. It interacts with proteins in these pathways such as cytochrome c oxidase in oxidative phosphorylation and Apaf-1 during apoptosis. The electron transport chain's function is dependent on the efficient transfer of electrons facilitated by cytochrome c ensuring ATP production in cellular respiration.

Associated diseases and disorders

Cytochrome c links to conditions like cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer its role in the apoptotic pathway often emerges as cancer cells can develop mechanisms to evade apoptosis impacting cytochrome c release. For neurodegenerative diseases disruptions in mitochondrial function and cytochrome c's release can facilitate cell death implicating its role in conditions like Parkinson's disease. The interaction of cytochrome c with proteins such as p53 in response to cellular stress further highlights its involvement in disease pathogenesis.

    Multiplex immunohistochemistry - Anti-Cytochrome C antibody [EP1326-80-5] (ab76107)

    Fluorescence multiplex immunohistochemical analysis of the Human parathyroid gland (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections).

    Panel A: merged staining of anti-CaSR (Anti-CaSR antibody [EPR24050-59] ab259846, magenta; Opal™690), anti-Cytochrome C (Anti-Cytochrome C antibody [EP1326-80-5] - BSA and Azide free ab247438, green; Opal™520) and anti-FABP4 (Anti-FABP4 antibody [EPR3579] ab92501, red; Opal™570) on human parathyroid gland. Panel B: anti-CaSR stained on parathyroid chief cells. Panel C: anti-Cytochrome C stained on parathyroid oxyphil cells. Panel D: anti-FABP4 stained on adipocytes. Opal Polymer HRP Ms + Rb was used as a secondary antibody.

    The section was incubated in three rounds of staining: in the order of Anti-CaSR antibody [EPR24050-59] ab259846 at 1/5000 dilution (0.103 μg/ml), Anti-Cytochrome C antibody [EP1326-80-5] - BSA and Azide free ab247438 at 1/5000 dilution (0.195 μg/ml), and Anti-FABP4 antibody [EPR3579] ab92501 at 1/10000 dilution (0.047 μg/ml) for 30 mins at room temperature. Each round was followed by a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system.

    The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument with an Opal™ 4-color kit. Image acquisition was performed with Leica SP8 confocal microscope.
