Cytochrome b5

Cytochrome b5 (CB) functions as an electron transport carrier for several membrane-bound oxygenases^[1]. . The microsomal and mitochondrial CB are membrane-bound while bacterial and other animal tissue CB are soluble.

Cytochrome b558 is a flavoprotein which is a component of NADPH oxidase^[2]
Cytochrome b562 is the the b-type cytochrome from E. coli.^[3]
