Cyct Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables heme binding activity. Acts upstream of or within hydrogen peroxide metabolic process and positive regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in embryo. Orthologous to human CYCTP (cytochrome c, testis, pseudogene). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 Cyct often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • cytochrome C
  • Cytochrome C oxidase, cbb3-type, subunit III
  • Di-haem oxidoreductase, putative peroxidase
  • heme binding
