Comment
The MtrC and OmcA proteins of the bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 are decaheme c-type cytochromes that reduce iron oxides extracellularly, passing the electrons to MtrA, another decaheme c-type cytochrome located in the periplasm.
History
EC 1.16.2.1 created 1972 as EC 1.9.99.1, transferred 2014 to EC 1.9.98.1, transferred 2024 to EC 1.16.2.1
