Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
This family of proteins is involved in electron transfer processes, acting as electron acceptors and donors in various biological redox reactions. Members of this family are known to transfer electrons to cytochrome oxidase, playing a role in the electron transport chain. Some proteins within this family are associated with copper tolerance, binding copper ions and protecting other proteins from copper-induced damage. The family includes soluble electron acceptors for membrane protein complexes and may participate in the oxidation of specific substrates such as methylamine. The proteins exhibit a cupredoxin domain, indicating their ability to bind copper and participate in redox reactions.
