Gene information for CYCS (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID54205
Official gene symbolCYCS
Full namecytochrome c, somatic
Aliases,CYC,HCS,THC4,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a small heme protein that functions as a central component of the electron transport chain in mitochondria. The encoded protein associates with the inner membrane of the mitochondrion where it accepts electrons from cytochrome b and transfers them to the cytochrome oxidase complex. This protein is also involved in initiation of apoptosis. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant nonsyndromic thrombocytopenia. Numerous processed pseudogenes of this gene are found throughout the human genome.
