Neuroglobin and cytoglobin: two new members of globin family
The globin family has long been defined by myoglobin and hemoglobin, proteins with the functions of oxygen storage and transportation, respectively. Recently, two new members of this family were discovered: neuroglobin present in neurons and retinal cells and cytoglobin found in various types of tissue. The increased expression of these proteins in hypoxic conditions first suggested a role in o...

متن کاملDivergent distribution of cytoglobin and neuroglobin in the murine eye.
Neuroglobin (Ngb) and cytoglobin (Cygb) are two vertebrate globins with yet poorly defined functions. Previous studies had demonstrated a high expression level of neuroglobin in the mammalian retina, being in line with a respiratory function. Here we show that in the mouse eye, cytoglobin is localised in fibroblasts of the ciliary processes and the choroidea. In the neuronal retina, cytoglobin ...

متن کاملNeuroglobin and cytoglobin: oxygen-binding proteins in retinal neurons.
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to describe the detailed localization of the novel oxygen-binding molecules, neuroglobin (Ngb) and cytoglobin (Cygb), in mammalian retinas and to determine whether Ngb and Cygb are neuronal or glial proteins in the retina. METHODS Antibodies directed against Ngb and Cygb were used to examine their patterns of distribution in normal canine retinas. Immunoblot...
