Identification
Name:Cytochrome c-type biogenesis protein CcmE
Synonyms:
  • Cytochrome c maturation protein E
  • Heme chaperone CcmE
Gene Name:ccmE
Enzyme Class:Not Available
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in protein-heme linkage
Specific Function:Heme chaperone required for the biogenesis of c-type cytochromes. Transiently binds heme delivered by CcmC and transfers the heme to apo-cytochromes in a process facilitated by CcmF and CcmH
Cellular Location:Cell inner membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein; Periplasmic side (Potential).
