α-Haemoglobin regulates sympathoadrenal cell metabolism to maintain a catecholaminergic phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Discovery of haemoglobin A expression outside of the erythroid cell lineage suggests that oxygen transport is the main, but not the unique, function of adult haemoglobin chains in mammals. The contribution of haemoglobin A to antioxidant defences has been proposed in the territories where it is expressed. Catecholaminergic cells rely on an active oxidative metabolism to accomplish their biological function, but...
