Immunological similarity between NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase of erythrocytes and liver microsomes

Biochim Biophys Acta. 1976 Feb 16;423(2):293-302. doi: 10.1016/0005-2728(76)90186-9.

Abstract

In a number of animal species soluble NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase of erythrocytes was compared with membrane-bound NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase of liver microsomes by using an antibody to purified NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase from rat liver microsomes. The results obtained indicated clearly that they are immunologically very similar to each other. The data with erythrocyte ghosts suggested that cytochrome b5 and NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase are also present in the ghost.
