Cytochrome c is a well characterized mobile electron transport protein essential to energy conversion in all aerobic organisms. Cytochrome b associates with Cytochrome c and the Rieske protein to form complex III (also referred to as the Cytochrome bc(1) complex), which is involved in cellular respiration. Ascorbate-dependent (CYBASC) Cytochromes represent a family including Cytochrome b561 of animal chromaffin granules and Cytochrome b ascorbate dependent 3 (CYBASC3). Members of this family are found in most eukaryotic cells. CYBASC3 is a 242 amino acid protein that is highly expressed in the adrenal gland, spleen, and tonsil tissue. |
