Cytochrome oxidase is a type of enzyme found in cells that helps produce energy. It plays a crucial role in the process of converting oxygen into water, releasing energy that the cell can use.
Full definition
Specimens of the flatworm from various territories were identified by their characteristic appearance, a histological study and molecular analysis of the gene
Cytochrome Oxidase Type I (which is often used to characterize animals).
(1988) containing the papers presented at a meeting organized by the two of us and held in Rome and in the Convent of Santa Teresa (Caprarola) where the structure - function relationships and the physiopathology
of cytochrome oxidase were discussed in depth.
The
terminal cytochrome oxidase is the main membrane enzyme responsible for the human mitochondrial respiration and was thought to be used for the breath of E. coli as well.
However, the E. coli bacteria has two types of oxidase: bo - type
cytochrome oxidase (analogue of «human» cytochrome - c oxidase) and completely different bd - type cytochromes.
«Our hypothesis was that the bd - type oxidase (bd - I and bd - II) are more resistant to the hydrogen sulfide inhibition than the bo - type
cytochrome oxidase,» commented Vitaly Borisov.
Two haplotypes (genetic variants) of
the Cytochrome Oxidase Type I sequence were detected: the «World haplotype» found in France, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Singapore, Puerto Rico and Florida; and the «Australian haplotype» found in Australia.
To analyze the insect content within the birdstrike species diet,
the cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene targeting insect species was used.
(8) Coenzyme Q10 serves in the mitochondria as an electron carrier to
cytochrome oxidase, the major system for cellular energy production.
«By stimulating
the cytochrome oxidase enzyme, we are utilizing that oxygen in the respiratory chain inside of the mitochondria, producing more ATP for that cell.
Finally, the treatment stimulates
the cytochrome oxidase enzyme in your cells» mitochondria.
The copper - dependent enzyme
cytochrome oxidase, when low in the brains of animal models, is the suspected cause of suppressed myelin formation.
