GENE - TERM ANNOTATION REPORT

RGD ID: 2502
Species: Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Cyb5r3
Name: cytochrome b5 reductase 3
Acc ID: DOID:10783
Term: methemoglobinemia
Definition: The presence of methemoglobin in the blood, resulting in cyanosis. A small amount of methemoglobin is present in the blood normally, but injury or toxic agents convert a larger proportion of hemoglobin into methemoglobin, which does not function reversibly as an oxygen carrier. Methemoglobinemia may be due to a defect in the enzyme NADH methemoglobin reductase (an autosomal recessive trait) or to an abnormality in hemoglobin M (an autosomal dominant trait). (Dorland, 27th ed)
Definition Source(s): MESH:D008708
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
