description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables oxygen binding activity and oxygen carrier activity. Acts upstream of or within oxygen transport. Located in cytosol and mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in brain; future brain; retina; and testis. Orthologous to human NGB (neuroglobin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit a significantly larger phase delay of circadian rhythm upon light stimulation at early night. [provided by MGI curators] |
