Event=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=3; Name=1; Synonyms=Liver, Membrane-bound; IsoId=P00167-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; Synonyms=Erythrocyte, Cytoplasmic; IsoId=P00167-2; Sequence=VSP_001240, VSP_001241; Note=May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.; Name=3; IsoId=P00167-3; Sequence=VSP_045367; Note=No experimental confirmation available.;
Disease
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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8168836}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
Cytochrome b5 is a membrane bound hemoprotein which function as an electron carrier for several membrane bound oxygenases.
