What is the role of NADH methemoglobin reductase? The primary methemoglobin-reducing enzyme in mammalian red blood cells (RBCs) is NADH-dependent cytochrome b5 reductase (CB5R), which catalyzes the reduction of ferric iron to ferrous iron (Steinberg 2009). Does methemoglobin bind oxygen? Methemoglobin does not bind oxygen, thus effectively leading to a functional anemia. In addition, methemoglobin […]
