Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
quinol + 2 ferricytochrome c = quinone + 2 ferrocytochrome c + 2 H+[side 2]
Systematic Name
quinol:ferricytochrome-c oxidoreductase
Function
The enzyme, often referred to as the cytochrome bc1 complex or complex III, is the third complex in the electron transport chain. It is present in the mitochondria of all aerobic eukaryotes and in the inner membranes of most bacteria. The mammalian enzyme contains cytochromes b-562, b-566 and c1, and a 2-iron ferredoxin. Depending on the organism and physiological conditions, the enzyme extrudes either two or four protons from the cytoplasmic to the non-cytoplasmic compartment (cf. EC 1.6.99.3, NADH dehydrogenase).
