Gene information for CYBA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1535
Official gene symbolCYBA
Full namecytochrome b-245, alpha polypeptide
Aliases,p22-PHOX,
Gene summaryCytochrome 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.
