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.Plays a role in apoptosis.ytochrome c then transfers this electron to the cytochrome oxidase complex, the final protein carrier in the mitochondrial electron-transport chain.
Nitrous Oxide is a naturally occurring gas that is colorless and non flammable. It can be manufactured and used for a variety of things such as a pharmacologic agent to produce anesthesia, a food additive as a propellant, and an additive to fuels to increase available oxygen in combustion.
NO x should not be confused with nitrous oxide (N 2 O), which is a greenhouse gas and has many uses as an oxidizer, an anesthetic, and a food additive. NOy (reactive, odd nitrogen) is defined as the sum of NO x plus the compounds produced from the oxidation of NO x which include nitric acid.
