Generic protein structure example

Cytochrome b561 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CYB561 gene.[1][2]


Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of CYB561 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Cyb561tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi[9][10] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists.[11][12][13]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[7][14] Twenty three tests were carried out on mutant mice and one significant abnormality was observed: female homozygotes displayed a decreased circulating glucose level after a glucose tolerance test.[7]
