Abstract excerpt
Cytoglobin is a hemoprotein widely expressed in fibroblasts and related cell lineages with yet undefined physiological function. Cytoglobin, as other heme proteins, can reduce nitrite to nitric oxide (NO) providing a route to generate NO in vivo in low oxygen conditions. In addition, cytoglobin can also bind lipids such as oleic acid and cardiolipin with high affinity. These two processes are potentially relevant...
