Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including GDP-dissociation inhibitor activity; oxygen binding activity; and oxygen carrier activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to hydrogen peroxide; response to hypoxia; and response to iron ion. Located in perikaryon. Used to study transient cerebral ischemia. Biomarker of Alzheimer's disease; encephalitis; retinal ischemia; and transient cerebral ischemia. Orthologous to human NGB (neuroglobin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Ngb expression is limited to the subpopulation of type I spiral ganglion cells, those which innervate inner hair cells, while the subpopulation of type II spiral ganglion cells which innervate the outer hair cells do not express Ngb. The cochlear nuclei and superior olivary complex (SOC) also express considerable amounts of Ngb.

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.
