Nitrite is one of the players in the broad nitrogen biogeochemical cycle. This nitrogen oxo-
anion is involved in key pathways crucial to life on Earth and to the planetary “recycling” of …

Globins are haem‐proteins that bind O2 and thus play an important role in the animal's
respiration and oxidative energy production. However, globins may also have other …

Neuroglobin is a highly conserved hemoprotein of uncertain physiological function that
evolved from a common ancestor to hemoglobin and myoglobin. It possesses a six …

The heme prosthetic group in hemoglobins is most often attached to the globin through
coordination of either one or two histidine side chains. Those proteins with one histidine …

In 2000, the third member of the globin family was discovered in human and mouse brain
and named neuroglobin (Ngb). Ngb is a monomeric 3/3 globin structurally similar to …

The subterranean mole rat Spalax is an excellent model for studying adaptation of a
mammal toward chronic environmental hypoxia. Neuroglobin (Ngb) and cytoglobin (Cygb) …

The study of inherited retinal diseases has advanced our knowledge of the cellular and
molecular mechanisms involved in sensory neural signaling. Dysfunction of two specific …

Oxidative stress, resulting from accumulation of reactive oxygen species, plays a critical role
in astroglial cell death occurring in diverse neuropathological conditions. Numerous studies …

Neuroglobin (Ngb) is a recently discovered globin that affords protection against
hypoxic/ischemic-induced cell injury in brain. Hypoxic/ischemic injury is associated with …

Neuroglobin is expressed in vertebrate brain and belongs to a branch of the globin family
that diverged early in evolution. Sequence conservation and presence in nervous cells of …
