Protein: P99999

Uniprot: 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 more..

Function 1: Electron transport protein. Condition: presence in mitochondrion.

Function 2: Activation of apoptosis by binding to Apaf-1 that triggers the activation of caspase-9, which then accelerates apoptosis by activating other caspases. Condition: release in the cytosol due to altered mitochondrial membrane permeability.
