Protein Summary

CYB561A3 is a 229-amino acid transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 26 kDa. It contains a conserved cytochrome b561 domain and two heme-binding motifs. The protein localizes to the plasma membrane and endomembrane system, where it facilitates electron transfer across membranes using ascorbate as an electron donor.
