Target description

Cytochrome c (UniProt: P99999; also known as Cyt c) is encoded by the CYCS (also known as CYC) gene (Gene ID: 54205) in human. Cytochrome c is a loosely connected inner mitochondrial membrane protein that functions as an electron carrier in the cell respiratory chain by interacting with redox partners of complex III and complex IV. Cytochrome C is highly conserved during evolution. 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 and then transfer this electron to the cytochrome oxidase complex, the final protein carrier in the mitochondrial electron-transport chain. Cytochrome c also plays an important role in apoptosis. It translocates from mitochondria to the cytosol in the cells undergoing apoptosis and participates in the central control or executioner phase of cell death cascade. In this process, caspase-9 and Apaf1 bind to each other in the presence of Cytochrome c and ATP leading to activation of caspase-9, which in turn activates caspase-3 and subsequently DNA fragmentation. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
