Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During cell apoptosis cytochrome c is released into the cytoplasm where it binds and activates the apoptotic protease activating factor-1 (Apaf-1) allowing its binding to ATP and the formation of the ring-like apoptosome.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many xenobiotics act by directly binding to active site heme and inhibit enzyme activity. Dysfunctional CcO contributes greatly to oxidative stress by increasing ROS production, ATP depletion and lactic acidosis.
