About NGB

Cytogenetic location: 14q24.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 14:77,265,483-77,271,206 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant) and 180 orthologues. Biased expression in adrenal (RPKM 4.2), brain (RPKM 1.8) and 3 other tissues.

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 oxygen availability and providing protection under hypoxic/ischemic conditions.
