Abstract

Cytochrome b561 is a major transmembrane protein that is specific to catacholamine and neuropeptide secretory vesicles of the adrenal medulla, pituitary gland, and other neuroendocrine tissues. This 30-kDa cytochrome is present in both the small synaptic vesicles and the large dense core vesicles (chromaffin granules) of the tissues. In this paper, we report that the human gene encoding cytochrome b561 (CYB561; GenBank Accession No. U06715) is localized to 17q11-qter.
