Cystatin-S, also called Cystatin-SA-III or Salivary acidic protein, is usually expressed in submandibular and sublingual saliva but not in parotid saliva(at protein level). This protein, which is phosphorylated at both its N- and C-terminal regions, belongs to the cystatin family. Cystatin-S can function as an inhibitor to papain or ficin, it partially inhibits stem bromelain and bovine cathepsin C.
Cystatin-SN is a member of family 2 of the Cystatin superfamily and a cysteine proteinase inhibitor found in saliva, tears, urine, and seminal fluid. Together with Cystatins S and SA, it is produced by the salivary gland and secreted largely in the submandibular/sublingual saliva. Cystatin-SN inhibits members of the Papain family including Cathepsins B, C, H and L.
Cytochrome b5 type B (CYB5B) is a membrane of the cytochrome b5 family. It contains 1 cytochrome b5 heme-binding domain. Cytochrome b5 is a membrane bound hemoprotein which function as an electron carrier for several membrane bound oxygenases. In the mitochondrion of eukaryotes and in aerobic prokaryotes, cytochrome b is a component of respiratory chain complex III also known as the bc1 complex or ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase.
Cytochrome b5 (CYB5A) is a membrane bound hemoprotein which function as an electron carrier for several membrane bound oxygenases. CYB5A contains one cytochrome b5 heme-binding domain and has two isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Isoform 1 is a sngle-pass membrane protein. Isoform 2 is located in cytoplasm. The defects in CYB5A can result in type IV hereditary methemoglobinemia.
Cytochrome C (CYCS) is a small heme protein that belongs to the cytochrome c family. It is found loosely associated with the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. Cytochrome C is a highly soluble protein that functions as a central component of the electron transport chain in mitochondria. CYCS transfers electrons between Complexes III (Coenzyme Q - Cyt C reductase) and IV (Cyt C oxidase). CYCS plays a role in apoptosis. Suppression of the anti-apoptotic members or activation of the pro-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family leads to altered mitochondrial membrane permeability resulting in release of cytochrome c into the cytosol. Binding of Cytochrome C to Apaf-1 triggers the activation of caspase-9, which then accelerates apoptosis by activating other caspases.
Cytoglobin is a ubiquitously globin protein that belongs to the globin family. The highest expressed in heart, stomach, bladder and small intestine. CYGB acts a protector under conditions of oxidative stress. CYGB may be involved in intracellular oxygen storage or transfer, modulates oxygen and nitric oxide metabolism or scavenging free radicals within a cell.
