Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Cytochrome c is a small hemecontaining protein located in the mitochondrial intermembrane space that transfers electrons between complex III (cytochrome bc) and complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase) of the respiratory chain. Upon apoptotic stimuli, it is released into the cytosol, where it binds Apaf1 and triggers caspase9 activation within the apoptosome, initiating intrinsic apoptosis.
Benefits and Advantages
Widely used in mitochondrial electrontransport research, apoptosis pathway studies, redoxbiology assays, ROSgeneration experiments, and enzymatic activity measurements (e.g., peroxidaselike reactions). A key reagent in cellfree caspase activation systems.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include allergenic potential, dust inhalation irritation and photosensitivity of the heme group. Handle as a proteinaceous biological reagent with appropriate PPE.
Only GMP materials will be supplied, logistics all according to GDP.
