BOLC102_C01P028680.1_BOLC102_V1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BOLC102_C01P028680.1_BOLC102_V1 encodes a cytochrome b protein, a component of complex III. The gene product possesses quinol-cytochrome-c reductase activity and is associated with mitochondrial electron transport from ubiquinol to cytochrome c, as well as redox activity and metal binding. It localises to the mitochondrial inner membrane and membrane. This gene is associated with anther development, and has been linked to cytoplasmic male sterility and heterosis. Related genes in other species further connect the family to mitochondrial respiratory function.
