About Cygb

Summary

Predicted to enable catalase activity; fatty acid peroxidase activity; and heme binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of Collagen biosynthetic process; negative regulation of fibroblast migration; and negative regulation of hepatic stellate cell activation. Predicted to act upstream of or within oxygen transport. Located in neuron projection and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; head mesenchyme; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CYGB (cytoglobin).
