basic FUNCTION
| facilitating oxygen transport |
|
in neuronal cells might be specifically induced under oxidative stress to protect them from death ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
functions as a tumor suppressor gene ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
NGB and CYGB may serve a neuroprotective role as scavengers of reactive oxygen species ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
expressed in the vasculature and regulates cell respiration and proliferation via nitric oxide dioxygenation ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
may potentially have a functional role in calcium-dependent events accompanying cardiac remodeling ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
protective function during conditions of oxydative stress |
|
role in nitric oxide signalling for CYGB and involvement in sleep-wake cycling for CYGB and NGB ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
plays an important role in protection of the kidney against fibrosis via the amelioration of oxidative stress ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
binding of ferric cytoglobin to lipids and their subsequent transformation may be integral to the physiological function of cytoglobin, generating cell signalling lipid molecules under an oxidative environment ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
serves as a defensive mechanism against oxidative stress ![](pubmed.jpg) |
