A striped racer, also known as the California whipsnake, is a species of non-venomous snake native to the coast and foothills of California. It is a long, slender, and fast-moving snake, identified by its distinctive stripes running down the length of its body. They primarily feed on lizards and small rodents. The scientific name for this species is Masticophis lateralis.

The cytochrome complex, or cyt c, is a small hemeprotein found loosely associated with the inner membrane of the mitochondrion where it plays a critical role in cellular respiration.
It transfers electrons between Complexes III (Coenzyme Q – Cyt c reductase) and IV (Cyt c oxidase). Cytochrome c is highly water-soluble, unlike other cytochromes. It is capable of undergoing oxidation and reduction as its iron atom converts between the ferrous and ferric forms, but does not bind oxygen. It also plays a major role in cell apoptosis. In humans, cytochrome c is encoded by the CYCS gene.cytochrome c meaning & definition 2 of cytochrome c.

Cytochrome C is a small heme protein found loosely associated with the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. It is a component of the electron transport chain in the mitochondria, where it accepts electrons from the b-type cytochromes and transfers them to cytochrome oxidase. In addition to its role in energy production, cytochrome C plays a key role in the initiation of apoptosis, or programmed cell death.
