CYB561

Cytochrome b561 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the CYB561 is_associated_with::gene.

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

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