Gene name Neuroglobin
Gene symbol NGB
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
-
Chromosome 14
Chromosome location 14q24.3
Summary This gene encodes an oxygen-binding protein that is distantly related to members of the globin gene family. It is highly conserved among other vertebrates. It is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system where it may be involved in increasing
