Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
This family of proteins is involved in the biogenesis of cytochrome c, a component crucial for electron transport and energy production in cells. Members of this family are thought to facilitate the transfer of reducing equivalents, which is essential for the formation of proper disulfide bonds in cytochrome c and other proteins. They may function by shuttling these reducing equivalents across cellular membranes, such as the cytoplasmic membrane in bacteria or the thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts. In some cases, these proteins are also implicated in the assembly of the cytochrome b6f complex, a component of the photosynthetic electron transport chain in plants. Additionally, certain members may play a role in bacterial sporulation processes.
