ENZYME entry: EC 7.1.1.8

Accepted Name
quinol--cytochrome-c reductase
Alternative Name(s)
complex III (mitochondrial electron transport)
cytochrome bc1 complex
ubiquinol--cytochrome-c reductase
ubiquinone--cytochrome-c oxidoreductase
Reaction catalysed
a quinol + 2 Fe(III)-[cytochrome c](out) <=> a quinone + 2 Fe(II)-[cytochrome c](out) + 2 H(+)(out)
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, often referred to as the cytochrome bc1 complex or complex III, is the third complex in the electron transport chain.
  • It is present in the mitochondria of all aerobic eukaryotes and in the inner membranes of most bacteria.
  • The mammalian enzyme contains cytochromes b-562, b-566 and c1, and a 2-iron ferredoxin.
  • Depending on the organism and physiological conditions, the enzyme extrudes either two or four protons from the cytoplasmic to the non- cytoplasmic compartment (cf. EC 1.6.99.3).
  • Formerly EC 1.10.2.2.
