Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	NADH-cytochrome b5 reductases are involved in desaturation and elongation of fatty acids, cholesterol biosynthesis, drug metabolism, and, in erythrocyte, methemoglobin reduction By similarity. Responsible for NADH-dependent lucigenin chemiluminescence in spermatozoa by reducing both lucigenin and 2-[4-iodophenyl]-3-[4-nitrophenyl]-5-[2,4-disulfophenyl]-2H tetrazolium monosodium salt (WST-1). Ref.2
Catalytic activity	NADH + 2 ferricytochrome b5 = NAD+ + H+ + 2 ferrocytochrome b5.
Cofactor	FAD By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Restricted expression. Ref.1
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the flavoprotein pyridine nucleotide cytochrome reductase family. Contains 1 FAD-binding FR-type domain.
