Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable electron transfer activity; metal ion binding activity; and oxidoreductase activity. Predicted to contribute to ubiquinol-cytochrome-c reductase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including electron transport coupled proton transport; mitochondrial electron transport, ubiquinol to cytochrome c; and response to glucagon. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ovarian carcinoma and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human MT-CYB (mitochondrially encoded cytochrome b).
