Analysis of CYB5R2 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-2226-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: cytochrome b5 reductase 2
Also known as: B5R.2
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the yellow protein pyridine nucleotide cytochrome reductase protein family. Cytochrome b-type NAD(P)H oxidoreductases are involved in many processes such as cholesterol biosynthesis, fatty acid desaturation and elongation, and respiratory burst in neutrophils and macrophages. Cytochrome b5 reductase is available in soluble and membrane-bound forms and is a product of alternative splicing. In animal cells, the membrane-bound form is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum, where it is a member of the fatty acid desaturation complex. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
