Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Neuroglobin (Ngb), which is expressed in human nervous system, protects neuronal cells against oxidative stress-induced cell death and induces neurite outgrowth at normal oxygen levels. In this study, we investigated functional characterization of human Ngb by protein engineering and analyzed the protein-protein interactions of Ngb. We clarified crucial amino acid residues for physiological functions of Ngb and for protein-protein interactions of Ngb. Furthermore, we identified a new protein that interacts with Ngb.
