cyb 5

Cytochrome b5 (CYB5A) is a membrane bound hemoprotein which function as an electron carrier for several membrane bound oxygenases. CYB5A contains one cytochrome b5 heme-binding domain and has two isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Isoform 1 is a sngle-pass membrane protein. Isoform 2 is located in cytoplasm. The defects in CYB5A can result in type IV hereditary methemoglobinemia.

Cytochrome b5 type B (CYB5B) is a membrane of the cytochrome b5 family. It contains 1 cytochrome b5 heme-binding domain. Cytochrome b5 is a membrane bound hemoprotein which function as an electron carrier for several membrane bound oxygenases. In the mitochondrion of eukaryotes and in aerobic prokaryotes, cytochrome b is a component of respiratory chain complex III also known as the bc1 complex or ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase.

CYB5R1 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His) is expressed in E. coli expression system with His tag. The predicted molecular weight is 33.5 kDa and the accession number is Q9UHQ9.
