" /> Cytochrome B(-245), alpha subunit - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Cytochrome B(-245), alpha subunit;

Symbol : CYBA;

CISMeF acronym : CYBA;

Type : Gene and phenotype, combined;

Alternative titles and symbols : Cytochrome B(558), alpha subunit; Cytochrome B light chain; p22-PHOX;

Included titles and symbols : Reactive oxygen species generation, decreased;

Description : The CYBA gene encodes the alpha subunit, also known as the light chain, of cytochrome b(-245), which is a component of the NADPH oxidase (NOX) complex responsible for the respiratory burst in phagocytes. The CYBB gene (300481) is an X-linked gene which encodes the cytochrome b beta subunit, also known as the heavy chain. Dinauer et al. (1990) and Schapiro et al. (1991) referred to the 22-kD gene product as p22-phox (for phagocyte oxidase). De Boer et al. (1992) referred to the product of the CYBA gene as the alpha subunit of cytochrome b(558) or p22-phox. They mentioned an international agreement on designations.;
