背景
This gene encodes cytochrome b5 reductase, which includes a membrane-bound form in somatic cells (anchored in the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrial and other membranes) and a soluble form in erythrocytes. The membrane-bound form exists mainly on the cytoplasmic side of the endoplasmic reticulum and functions in desaturation and elongation of fatty acids, in cholesterol biosynthesis, and in drug metabolism. The erythrocyte form is located in a soluble fraction of circulating erythrocytes and is involved in methemoglobin reduction. The membrane-bound form has both membrane-binding and catalytic domains, while the soluble form has only the catalytic domain. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Mutations in this gene cause methemoglobinemias. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010],
功能
catalytic activity:NADH + 2 ferricytochrome b5 = NAD(+) + H(+) + 2 ferrocytochrome b5.,cofactor:FAD.,disease:Defects in CYB5R3 are the cause of hereditary methemoglobinemia (HM) [MIM:250800]. There are three forms of this disease: type 1 (HM1) in which the enzyme is only deficient in erythrocytes with a mild cyanosis; type 2 (HM2), in which the enzyme is completely deficient; type 3 (HM3) where the deficiency is seen in all blood cells. Type 2 is a severe form accompanied with mental retardation and neurological impairment.,function:Desaturation and elongation of fatty acids, cholesterol biosynthesis, drug metabolism, and, in erythrocyte, methemoglobin reduction.,polymorphism:Ser-117 seems to only be found in persons of African origin. The allele frequency is 0.23 in African Americans. It was not found in Caucasians, Asians, Indo-Aryans, or Arabs. There seems to be no effect on the enzym
