Literature associating CYBRD1 and hemochromatosis type 1
CYBRD1 [ENSP00000319141]
Cytochrome b reductase 1; Ferric-chelate reductase that reduces Fe(3+) to Fe(2+). Present at the brush border of duodenal enterocytes where it probably reduces dietary Fe(3+) thereby facilitating its transport into the mucosal cells. Uses ascorbate as electron donor. May be involved in extracellular ascorbate recycling in erythrocyte membranes. May also act as a ferrireductase in airway epithelial cells.
Synonyms: CYBRD1, CYBRD1p, hCYBRD1, C9JML1, Q53TN4 ...
