Component of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex (complex III or cytochrome b-c1 complex), which is a respiratory chain that generates an electrochemical potential coupled to ATP synthesis (By similarity).
Catalysis of the transfer of a solute or solutes from one side of a membrane to the other according to the reaction: CoQH2 + 2 ferricytochrome c = CoQ + 2 ferrocytochrome c + 2 H+.
A cDNA clone p5x23 was isolated from a library prepared from membrane bound mRNA from a human lymphoblastoid cell line. This clone was shown to detect a restriction fragment length polymorphism with the enzyme MspI, with frequency for the minor variant of about 10% in a Caucasian population. The clone apparently only detected homozygotes, and did not hybridize to any of a panel of human-mouse somatic cell hybrids containing all human chromosomes in various combinations. Sequence analysis of the clone showed that it encoded a part of the 3' end of the human mitochondrial cytochrome b gene.
The transfer of electrons from ubiquinol to cytochrome c that occurs during oxidative phosphorylation, mediated by the multisubunit enzyme known as complex III.

Heme 1 (or BL or b562) is low-potential and absorbs at about 562 nm, and heme 2 (or BH or b566) is high-potential and absorbs at about 566 nm (By similarity).
Protein involved in the transport of electrons, a process by which electrons are transported through a series of reactions from the reductant, or electron donor, to the oxidant, or electron acceptor, with concomitant energy conversion. Necessary for both photosynthesis and aerobic respiration.
Protein involved in respiratory chain. In aerobic respiration electrons are transferred from metabolites to molecular oxygen through a series of redox reactions mediated by an electron transport chain. The resulting free energy is used for the formation of ATP and NAD. In anaerobic respiration analogous reactions take place with an inorganic compound other than oxygen as ultimate electron acceptor.
Protein involved in the transport of a molecule (metabolite, protein, etc), a ion or an electron across cell membranes, inside the cell or in a tissue fluid.
A reference proteome is a set of protein sequences derived from a complete proteome which constitutes a defined standard for a particular user community. Reference proteomes are manually defined according to a number of criteria. They cover the proteomes of well- studied model organisms and other proteomes of interest for biomedical and biotechnological research. Reference proteomes have been selected to provide broad coverage of the tree of life, and constitute a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity to be found within UniProtKB.
