Anti-Cytoglobin antibody,Abcam,AB127028

Target data Probable multifunctional globin with a hexacoordinated heme iron required for the catalysis of various reactions depending on redox condition of the cell as well as oxygen availability (PubMed : 11893755, PubMed : 12359339, PubMed : 15165856, PubMed : 19147491, PubMed : 20511233, PubMed : 28393874, PubMed : 28671819, PubMed : 29128400, PubMed : 33576020, PubMed : 34930834). Has a nitric oxide dioxygenase (NOD) activity and is most probably involved in cell-mediated and oxygen-dependent nitric oxide consumption (PubMed : 19147491, PubMed : 20511233, PubMed : 28393874, PubMed : 28671819). By scavenging this second messenger may regulate several biological processes including endothelium-mediated vasodilation and vascular tone (PubMed : 19147491, PubMed : 28393874). Under normoxic conditions functions as a nitric oxide dioxygenase (NOD) but under hypoxic conditions the globin may switch its function to that of a nitrite (NO2) reductase (NiR), generating nitric oxide (PubMed : 29128400). Could also have peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities, detoxifying reactive oxygen species and protecting cells against oxidative stress (PubMed : 12359339, PubMed : 33576020, PubMed : 34930834). Also binds dioxygen with low affinity and could function as an oxygen sensor but has probably no function as a respiratory oxygen carrier (PubMed : 11893755, PubMed : 15299006, PubMed : 20553503).
