UniProt functional annotation for P00025

UniProt code: P00025.

Organism: Katsuwonus pelamis (Skipjack tuna) (Bonito).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Actinopterygii; Neopterygii; Teleostei; Neoteleostei; Acanthomorphata; Pelagiaria; Scombriformes; Scombridae; Katsuwonus.
 
Function: 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 chain.
 
Subcellular location: Mitochondrion intermembrane space. Note=Loosely associated with the inner membrane.
Ptm: Binds 1 heme group per subunit.
Similarity: Belongs to the cytochrome c family. {ECO:0000305}.
