Cytochrome c peroxidase or CCP is a water-soluble heme-containing enzyme of the peroxidase family that takes reducing equivalents from cytochrome c and reduces hydrogen peroxide to water:CCP + H2O2 + 2 ferrocytochrome c + 2H+ → CCP + 2H2O + 2 ferricytochrome cCytochrome c peroxidase can react with hydroperoxides other than hydrogen peroxide but the reaction rate is much slower than with hydrogen peroxide.It was first isolated from baker’s yeast by R. A.
