摘要
脑红蛋白(neuroglobin,Ngb)是携氧球蛋白家族成员之一,主要以单体形式存在于神经细胞中,与脑内氧供应密切相关。脑缺血缺氧能诱导Ngb高表达,并作为一种内源性神经保护因子保护神经元免受缺血缺氧性损害。文章对Ngb的分布、结构、功能及其在缺血缺氧性脑损伤中的保护作用和机制做了综述。
Neuroglobin (Ngb) is one of the members of oxygen-carrying globin family. It mainly exists in neurons in a monomeric form, which is closely correlated the oxygen supply to brain. Brain hypoxia/ischemia can induce the high expression of Ngb, and as an endogenous neuroprotective factor, it protects ischemic neurons from ischemia/hypoxia injury, This article reviews the distribution, structure and function of Ngb, and its potential protective effects and mechanisms in cerebral ischemia/hypoxia cerebral injury.
