Protein
Cytochrome b-c1 complex subunit 8
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Component of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex (complex III or cytochrome b-c1 complex), which is part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain that generates an electrochemical potential coupled to ATP synthesis. The complex couples electron transfer from ubiquinol to cytochrome c. QCR8, together with cytochrome b, binds to ubiquinone.
Similarity
Belongs to the UQCRQ/QCR8 family.
