Comment typeDescription
FunctionCytochrome b5 is a membrane bound hemoprotein which function as an electron carrier for several membrane bound oxygenases. It is also involved in several steps of the sterol biosynthesis pathway, particularly in the C-5 double bond introduction during the C-5 desaturation.
SimilarityBelongs to the cytochrome b5 family. {ECO:0000305}.
SimilarityContains 1 cytochrome b5 heme-binding domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00279}.
Subcellular LocationEndoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Microsome membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}.
