CYBA

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: CYBA
  • Official Name: cytochrome b-245 alpha chain
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 1535
  • UniProt: P13498
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: Cytochrome b is comprised of a light chain (alpha) and a heavy chain (beta). This gene encodes the light, alpha subunit which has been proposed as a primary component of the microbicidal oxidase system of phagocytes. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), that is characterized by the failure of activated phagocytes to generate superoxide, which is important for the microbicidal activity of these cells.

  • UniProt Summary: Critical component of the membrane-bound oxidase of phagocytes that generates superoxide. Associates with NOX3 to form a functional NADPH oxidase constitutively generating superoxide. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15824103}.
