General annotation (Comments)

Function

NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase involved in endolasmic reticulum stress response pathway. Plays a critical role in protecting pancreatic beta-cells against oxidant stress, possibly by protecting the cell from excess buildup of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Reduces a variety of substrates in vitro, such as cytochrome c, feericyanide and methemoglobin.

Catalytic activity

NADH + 2 ferricytochrome b5 = NAD+ + H+ + 2 ferrocytochrome b5.

Cofactor

FAD.

Subcellular location

Endoplasmic reticulum. Note: Soluble protein. Ref.4 Ref.6

Tissue specificity

Widely expressed. Ref.4

Polymorphism

Variants Arg-187 and Arg-223 do not influence the pathogenesis of non-autoimmune diabetes.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the flavoprotein pyridine nucleotide cytochrome reductase family.

Contains 1 CS domain.

Contains 1 cytochrome b5 heme-binding domain.

Contains 1 FAD-binding FR-type domain.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

KM=25 mM for O2

Redox potential:

E0 is -108 mV.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAF04812.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.

The sequence CAI19905.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction.

The sequence CAI22326.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction.
