Target Details for CYGB

Target: CYGB (Cytoglobin (CYGB))

Alternative Name: CYGB

Background:

Synonyms: Cytoglobin,Histoglobin,HGb,Stellate cell activation-associated protein,CYGB,STAP,

Tissue Specificity: Ubiquitously expressed. Highest expression in heart, stomach, bladder and small intestine. .

Background: Cytoglobin (CYGB), also called HGB or STAP, is a ubiquitously expressed hexacoordinate hemoglobin that may facilitate diffusion of oxygen through tissues, scavenge nitric oxide or other reactive oxygen species, or serve a protective function during oxidative stress. The cytoglobin gene is mapped on 17q25.1. The CYGB gene contains 4 exons and spans about 9 kb. Cytoglobin has many elements common to vertebrate globins, including invariant histidine residues, and the amino acids that form the heme pocket share similarity with pentacoordinate myoglobin. In contrast to the high oxygen affinities displayed by most hexacoordinate hemoglobins, the characteristics of CYGB indicate that it can facilitate oxygen transport. Because the oxygen affinity of CYGB is more similar to myoglobin than to neuroglobin, and the oxy form of CYGB resists autooxidation, CYGB is proposed to represent a tissue oxygen reservoir by Sawai et al.

Sequence Similarities: Belongs to the APP family.
