Protein
Succinate dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] cytochrome b subunit, mitochondrial
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Membrane-anchoring mono-heme cytochrome b subunit of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) that is involved in system II of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and is responsible for transferring electrons from succinate to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q). SDH3 and SDH4 form the membrane dimer that anchors the catalytic dimer formed by SDH1 and SDH2 to the matrix surface of the mitochondrial inner membrane. Electrons originating from the catalytic dimer enter the membrane dimer for ubiquinone reduction.
Similarity
Belongs to the cytochrome b560 family.
