cytochrome: /cy·to·chrome/ (si´to-krōm) any of a class of hemoproteins, widely distributed in animal and plant tissues, whose main function is electron transport using the heme prosthetic group; distinguished according to their prosthetic groups, e.g., a, b, c, d, and P-450.
cy·to·chrome: Any of a class of iron-containing proteins important in cell respiration as catalysts of oxidation-reduction reactions.
Cytochrome: A substance that contains iron and acts as a hydrogen carrier for the eventual release of energy in aerobic respiration. Mentioned in: Smoking
cytochrome: Etymology: Gk, kytos, cell, chroma, color
1 a class of hemoproteins whose function is electron transport. These proteins have the
ability to change the valence of the heme iron, alternating between ferrous and ferric
states.
2 proteins involved in mitochondrial exudative electron transport systems associated with
adenosine triphosphate production.
cytochrome: n one of a class of hemoproteins that act as electron transport. Cytochromes are classified as
a, b, c, and d.
