QuickView for electron transport complex iv (compound)


Name: Electron Transport Complex IV
Description: A multisubunit enzyme complex containing CYTOCHROME A GROUP; CYTOCHROME A3; two copper atoms; and 13 different protein subunits. It is the terminal oxidase complex of the RESPIRATORY CHAIN and collects electrons that are transferred from the reduced CYTOCHROME C GROUP and donates them to molecular OXYGEN, which is then reduced to water. The redox reaction is simultaneously coupled to the transport of PROTONS across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Synonyms:
Cytochrome-c Oxidase; Cytochrome Oxidase; Cytochrome-c Oxidase (Complex IV); Oxidase, Cytochrome; Oxidase, Cytochrome-c; Cytochrome c Oxidase; Ferrocytochrome c Oxygen Oxidoreductase; Ferricytochrome-c:oxygen oxidoreductase
