4.4.1.17 |
| Accepted name: |
holocytochrome-c synthase |
| Reaction: |
holocytochrome c = apocytochrome c + heme |
| Other name(s): |
cytochrome c heme-lyase; holocytochrome c synthetase; holocytochrome-c apocytochrome-c-lyase |
| Systematic name: |
holocytochrome-c apocytochrome-c-lyase (heme-forming) |
| Comments: |
In the reverse direction, the enzyme catalyses the attachment of heme to two cysteine residues in the protein, forming thioether links. |
