Cybb Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including heme binding activity; nucleotide binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to contribute to electron transfer activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to L-glutamine; cellular response to ethanol; and hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha signaling pathway. Located in several cellular components, including neuronal cell body; nuclear envelope; and perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum. Part of NADPH oxidase complex. Biomarker of artery disease (multiple); end stage renal disease; primary hyperaldosteronism; and renal fibrosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked chronic granulomatous disease; chronic granulomatous disease; and immunodeficiency 34. Orthologous to human CYBB (cytochrome b-245 beta chain).

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 rat Cybb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
