CYB5R1
Description
The CYB5R1 (cytochrome b5 reductase 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
The CYB5R1 gene, located on chromosome 1 (1q32.1), encodes NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase 1, a human enzyme. This gene comprises 9 exons and translates into a 305 amino acid protein with a molecular weight of 34.1 kDa. Mass spectrometry data has identified 56 peptides within this protein.
NADH-cytochrome b5 reductases play a crucial role in various cellular processes, including the desaturation and elongation of fatty acids, cholesterol biosynthesis, and drug metabolism. Additionally, in erythrocytes, they are involved in the reduction of methemoglobin.
CYB5R1 is also known as B5R.1, B5R1, B5R2, NQO3A2, humb5R2.
