Retraction Notice: The Significance of Neuroglobin in the Brain
Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame — the usual design — would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.

Abstract
Since its discovery in 2000, neuroglobin (Nb) has been demonstrated to have an essential and conserved function in vertebrates with the consequential discovery of a neuroprotective role. Nb is a member of the globin superfamily and is predominantly expressed in neurons of the central and peripheral nervous system. Thorough studies have been performed to elucidate the molecular structure of Nb and its ligand binding characteristics. The precise physiological function and mechanism of action of Nb is beginning to be established, with a number of hypotheses having been put forward. While Nb shares an intrinsic affinity for low-molecular weight diatomic gases similar to other globins, the relatively low level of Nb expression in cerebral neurons places limitations on its potential to function as a reservoir for oxygen, especially during periods of acute ischemia. In vitro studies have suggested that the neuroprotective role of Nb may be due to its ability to scavenge reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) species. However other studies have proposed Nb as being part of a signalling chain that transmits the redox state of the cell that is protective against oxidative stress or that inhibits apoptosis. This review is intended to summarize the structural, genomic and functional data on neuroglobin to date, thereby providing perspectives for future research on these molecules that may have substantial biomedical implications.
