MeSH definition : A FLAVOPROTEIN oxidoreductase that occurs both as a soluble enzyme and a membrane-bound
enzyme due to ALTERNATIVE SPLICING of a single mRNA. The soluble form is present mainly
in ERYTHROCYTES and is involved in the reduction of METHEMOGLOBIN. The membrane-bound
form of the enzyme is found primarily in the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM and outer mitochondrial
membrane, where it participates in the desaturation of FATTY ACIDS; CHOLESTEROL biosynthesis
and drug metabolism. A deficiency in the enzyme can result in METHEMOGLOBINEMIA.;
