Abstract
Cytochrome b5 was purified from detergent solubilized sheep liver microsomes by using three successive DEAE-cellulose, and Sephadex G-100 column chromatographies. It was purified 54-fold and the yield was 23.5% with respect to microsomes. The apparent Mr of cytochrome b5 was estimated to be 16,200 +/- 500 by SDS-PAGE. Absolute absorption spectrum of the purified cytochrome b5 showed maximal absorption at 412 nm and dithionite-reduced cytochrome b5 gave peaks at 557, 526.5 and 423 nm. The ability of the purified sheep liver cytochrome b5 to transfer electrons from
