Cyb561d2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables heme binding activity and transmembrane ascorbate ferrireductase activity. Predicted to be involved in ascorbate homeostasis. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including Meckel's cartilage; female reproductive system; lower leg mesenchyme; skeleton; and thymus. Orthologous to human CYB561D2 (cytochrome b561 family member D2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Cyb561d2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
