  • Cytochrome b-c1 complex subunit CYTB
  • Ubiquinol-cytochrome-c reductase complex cytochrome b subunit
Gene NameCOB
Enzyme ClassNot Available
Biological Properties
General FunctionEnergy production and conversion
Specific FunctionComponent of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex (complex III or cytochrome b-c1 complex), which is part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain that generates an electrochemical potential coupled to ATP synthesis. The complex couples electron transfer from ubiquinol to cytochrome c
