CYB5R2
Description
The CYB5R2 (cytochrome b5 reductase 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.
Cytochrome b5 reductase 2 is an enzyme encoded by the CYB5R2 gene in humans. This gene's location and details can be found in the UCSC Genome Browser.
NADH-cytochrome b5 reductases play a role in various metabolic processes, including fatty acid desaturation and elongation, cholesterol biosynthesis, drug metabolism, and methemoglobin reduction in red blood cells. In spermatozoa, CYB5R2 is responsible for NADH-dependent lucigenin chemiluminescence by reducing both lucigenin and WST-1.
CYB5R2 is also known as B5R.2.
