Cytochrome c, or cyt c (horse heart: PDB 1HRC) is a small heme protein found loosely associated with the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. It is a soluble protein, unlike other cytochromes, and is an essential component of the electron transfer chain. It is capable of undergoing oxidation and reduction, but does not bind oxygen. It transfers electrons between Complexes III and IV. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytochrome_c
Yes. There is scientific evidence to indicate that Halothane is able to induce cytochrome P450. P450 in turn anaerobically reduces halothane to potentially toxic metabolic compounds that cause liver damage
There are over 50 different cytochrome P450 enzymes in the human body, each with specific roles in metabolizing various substances including drugs, toxins, and endogenous compounds.
Enzymes like catalase, cytochrome P450, and alcohol dehydrogenase are involved in oxidizing cell substances. Catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide, cytochrome P450 is involved in drug metabolism, and alcohol dehydrogenase metabolizes ethanol.
The human cytochrome P450 comprises 57 genes. These genes code for enzymes that can have a role in: metabolism of drugs, foreign chemicals, cholesterol metabolism and more. P450 was once thought to be mainly a hepatic drug detoxication system, its now believed to include a myriad of enzymic reactions implicated in important life processes.
Ginkgo biloba is primarily metabolized in the liver, mainly by the cytochrome P450 enzymes. It undergoes extensive metabolism before being eliminated from the body.

Cytochrome P450 allows phenytoin to undergo aromatic hydroxylation to turn into phenol.
