Preferred Label : Cytochrome-B(5) reductase;

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.;

MeSH synonym : nadh cytochrome b5 reductase; nadh-cytochrome b5 reductase; b5 reductase, nadh-cytochrome;

MeSH hyponym : methemoglobin reductase; Reductase, Methemoglobin; NADH-Ferrihemoglobin Reductase; NADH Ferrihemoglobin Reductase; Reductase, NADH-Ferrihemoglobin; NADH Methemoglobin Reductase; Methemoglobin Reductase, NADH; Reductase, NADH Methemoglobin;
