Cyc1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable heme binding activity; metal ion binding activity; and ubiquinol-cytochrome-c reductase activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial electron transport, ubiquinol to cytochrome c and response to glucagon. Located in mitochondrion. Part of respiratory chain complex III. Is active in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; heart; integumental system; limb; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial complex III deficiency nuclear type 6. Orthologous to human CYC1 (cytochrome c1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Cyc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
