Background:

CYB5R3 is a 301 amino acid protein encoded by the human gene CYB5R3. CYB5R3 belongs to the flavoprotein pyridine nucleotide cytochrome reductase family and has two naturally occuring isoforms. Isoform 1 is anchored to the cytoplasmic side of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and mitochondrion outer membrane, while isoform 2 is the soluble form found in erythrocytes. CYB5R3 is involved in the desaturation and elongation of fatty acids, cholesterol biosynthesis, drug metabolism and, in erythrocytes, methemoglobin reduction. A serine residue at position 117 seems to only be found in persons of African origin. The allele frequency is 0.23 in African Americans. It is not found in Caucasians, Asians, Indo-Aryans or Arabs. This difference seems to have no effect on the enzyme activity. Defects in CYB5R3 are the cause of hereditary methemoglobinemia (HM). There are three forms of this disease: type 1 (HM1), in which the enzyme is only deficient in erythrocytes with a mild cyanosis; type 2 (HM2), in which the enzyme is completely deficient; and type 3 (HM3), where the deficiency is seen in all blood cells. Type 2 is a severe form accompanied by mental retardation and neurological impairment.

Storage:

0.01M TBS(pH7.4) with 1% BSA, 0.03% Proclin300 and 50% Glycerol. Store at -20 °C for one year. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. The lyophilized antibody is stable at room temperature for at least one month and for greater than a year when kept at -20°C. When reconstituted in sterile pH 7.4 0.01M PBS or diluent of antibody the antibody is stable for at least two weeks at 2-4 °C.

Application:

Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
