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

How many cytochrome P450 are there in the body?
57
Does halothane induce cytochrome p450?
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
What is the clinical importance of cytochrome P450?
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.
What is iron enzyme?
Redox cytochromes and the P450 class of detoxifying cytochrome are enzymes which contains iron.few other classic examples are: Haemoglobin (carries O2 and CO2), Ferritin protein (stores ferrous).
What are macromolecules of digestion?
I think your answer is both pepsin, a secreted inactive form of pepsinogen, and mucus.

Which of the following drugs inhibits the cytochrome P450 system?
Cimetidine
