Cytochromes are membrane-bound (i.e. inner mitochondrial membrane) hemeproteins containing heme groups and are primarily responsible for the generation of ATP via electron transport. They are found either as monomeric proteins (e.g., cytochrome c) or as subunits of bigger enzymatic complexes that catalyze redox reactions. ==History== Cytochromes w...

(cyto- + Gr. chroma colour) any electron transfer hemoprotein having a mode of action in which the transfer of a single electron is effected by a reversible valence change of the central iron atom of the heme prosthetic group between the +2 and +3 oxidation states; classified as cytochromes a in which the heme contains a formyl side chain, cytochro...

A respiratory pigment which occurs in three forms a, b, and c, and is found in most, if not all, aerobic cells. This hemochromagen especially in the c form has been studied in arthropods relative to the effects of toxins, and possible insecticide-resistance mechanisms.

Type: Term Pronunciation: sī′tō-krōm Definitions: 1. A class of hemoprotein the principal biologic function of which is electron and/or hydrogen transport by virtue of a reversible valency change of the heme iron. Cytochromes are classified in four groups (a, b, c, and d) according to spectrochemical characteristics; many varia...
