Abstract excerpt
The peroxidase activity of cytochrome c may play a key role in the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondrial intermembrane space in the intrinsic apoptosis pathway. Induction of the peroxidase activity of cytochrome c is ascribed to partial unfolding and loss of axial co-ordination between the haem Fe and Met80, and is thought to be triggered by interaction of cytochrome c with cardiolipin...
