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.

Notes

ab218312 is the carrier-free version of Anti-Cytochrome C antibody [EPR1327] ab133504.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

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.
