CYB5R2 (Cytochrome B5 Reductase 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Metabolism and Amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism. The protein encoded by CYB5R2 belongs to the flavoprotein pyridine nucleotide cytochrome reductase family of proteins. Cytochrome b-type NAD(P)H oxidoreductases are implicated in many processes including cholesterol biosynthesis, fatty acid desaturation and elongation, and respiratory burst in neutrophils and macrophages. Cytochrome b5 reductases have soluble and membrane-bound forms that are the product of alternative splicing.
