Cofactor

Cofactor Comment Organism Structure
cytochrome c ferric cytochrome c, Fe3+ cyt c, cytochrome c is known to participate in mitochondrial respiration and has antioxidant and peroxidase activities. Fe3+ cyt c might have a role in the deleterious effects of sulfite in biological systems due to increased production of sulfite radical. Mammalian cytochrome c (cyt c) is a small, globular protein that exists in high concentrations in the inner membrane of mitochondria Homo sapiens

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction in humans, sulfite oxidase deficiency is one of the most accepted causes of sulfite hypersensitivity and toxicity. A congenital deficiency of sulfite oxidase can cause an excessive accumulation of sulfite and lead to early death in infancy (usually between 2 and 6 years of age), or in neonatal cases, neurological abnormalities, mental retardation, intractable seizures, and ocular lens dislocation. Molybdenum cofactor deficiency, which compromises sulfite oxidase activity, results in profound mental retardation, brain damage, microcephaly, and spasticity. It has also been suggested that hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is due to molybdenum cofactor deficiency Homo sapiens
physiological function sulfite is detoxified in the liver and lung to sulfate by sulfite oxidase (SO), a molybdenum dependent mitochondrial enzyme. The enzyme ensures that intracellular levels of the sulfite ion remain at acceptably low levels. Sulfite oxidation is the final step in the metabolism of sulfur derived from sulfur containing amino acids. SO catalyzes the oxidation of endogenous or exogenous sulfite to sulfate, which is excreted in to the urine Homo sapiens
