General Information

EC Number	General Information	Comment	Organism
7.2.1.3	additional information	conserved Lys83 residue in a cytosolic loop plays a very important role for the binding of ascorbate and the succeeding electron transfer via electrostatic interactions. Lys83 might also be responsible for the intramolecular electron transfer to the intravesicular heme. Conserved residues Ser118 and Trp122, located in the putative monodehydroascorbate radical binding site, do not have major roles for the redox events on the intravesicular side	Zea mays
7.2.1.3	physiological function	cytochrome b561 exists in the neurosecretory vesicle membranes of the nervous system of higher animals. The cytochrome receives an electron equivalent from cytosolic ascorbate (AsA)1 and donates it to the intravesicular monodehydroascorbate radical to regenerate AsA after the transmembrane electron transfer. Transmembrane electron transfer catalyzed by cytochrome b561 is essential for the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters	Zea mays
