What's a GeneRIF?

Cygb has a critical role in the regulation of vascular tone and disease. We suggest that modulation of the expression and NOD activity of Cygb represents a strategy for the treatment of cardiovascular disease
Title: Cytoglobin regulates blood pressure and vascular tone through nitric oxide metabolism in the vascular wall.
This result suggests that Cygb possibly participates in the development of degenerative diseases; our findings also support the possible biological role of Cygb related to peroxidase activity.
Title: Intermediate Tyrosyl Radical and Amyloid Structure in Peroxide-Activated Cytoglobin.
The reduction of neonatal HI injury by CYGB may be due in part to antioxidant and antiapoptotic mechanisms and by promoting angiogenesis.
Title: Mechanisms of neuroprotection from hypoxia-ischemia (HI) brain injury by up-regulation of cytoglobin (CYGB) in a neonatal rat model.
may be involved in the healing process of gastric mucosal injuries in the late phase without angiogenesis
Title: Cytoglobin may be involved in the healing process of gastric mucosal injuries in the late phase without angiogenesis.
These findings show for the first that Cygb serves as a defensive mechanism against oxidative stress both in vitro and in vivo.
Title: Cytoglobin, a novel member of the globin family, protects kidney fibroblasts against oxidative stress under ischemic conditions.
The induction of cytoglobin in islets may reduce cell loss from chronic hypoxia and may be a useful adjunct to islet transplantation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
