Primary Structure of Cytochrome b5 from Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.) Deduced from Peptide and cDNA Sequences 1

Cytochrome b 5 is a microsomal protein that functions as an intermediate electron donor in fatty acid desaturation and other oxidation/reduction reactions. cDNA clones were isolated from cauliflower ( Brassica oleracea L.) by using oligonucleotides based on the partial amino acid sequence of the pro...

Description
Summary:Cytochrome b 5 is a microsomal protein that functions as an intermediate electron donor in fatty acid desaturation and other oxidation/reduction reactions. cDNA clones were isolated from cauliflower ( Brassica oleracea L.) by using oligonucleotides based on the partial amino acid sequence of the protein. The deduced amino acid sequence of the polypeptide exhibited approximately 30% sequence identity with the homologous protein from vertebrates.
