“Cytochromes (Cytochrome Enzymes)”  

Cytochrome Enzymes

  In our body, Cytochromes (Cytochrome Enzymes), as electron-transporting proteins, are hemeproteins (heme proteins) whose characteristic mode of action involves transfer of reducing equivalents which are associated with a reversible change in oxidation state of the prosthetic group.
  In our body, the cytochrome protein subclasses, which may function as Cytochrome Enzymes, maybe organized by the type of heme (ferroprotoporphyrin) and by the wavelength range of the heme's reduced alpha-absorption bands.
  The cytochrome subfamilies include:

• cytochrome A group
• cytochrome B group
• cytochrome C group
  • Cytochromes c
  • Cytochromes c'
  • Cytochromes c1
  • Cytochromes c2
  • Cytochromes c6
• cytochrome D group
• cytochromes f
