Solution structure of the oxidized microsomal human cytochrome b5

Disease

[CYB5_HUMAN] Defects in CYB5A are the cause of methemoglobinemia CYB5A-related (METHB-CYB5A) [MIM:250790]. A form of methemoglobinemia, a hematologic disease characterized by the presence of excessive amounts of methemoglobin in blood cells, resulting in decreased oxygen carrying capacity of the blood, cyanosis and hypoxia.[1]

Function

[CYB5_HUMAN] Cytochrome b5 is a membrane bound hemoprotein which function as an electron carrier for several membrane bound oxygenases.

About this Structure

2i96 is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full experimental information is available from OCA.
