Cytochrome C. Cytochrome c is a highly conserved ~12 kDa protein consisting of a single 104 amino acid peptide with a single heme group, which is covalently attached to Cys 14 and Cys 17. Because of its ubiquitous nature and sequence homology, cytochrome c has been used as a model protein for molecular evolution. 1.ytochrome c also participates in the cytosolic caspase proteolytic cascade of apoptosis as a component of the apoptotic protease activating factor (Apaf). The association of cytochrome c with Apaf-1 results in the formation of the apoptosome protein complex which can recruit and activate pro-caspase 9 (Apaf-3).

A nitrovasodilator is a pharmaceutical agent that causes vasodilation by donation of nitric oxide, and is mostly used for the treatment and prevention of angina pectoris. This group of drugs includes nitrates, which are reduced to NO in the body, as well as some other substances.
