Globin-Like Proteins in Caenorhabditis Elegans: In Vivo Localization, Ligand Binding and Structural Properties.
Bmc Biochem., 11:17-, 2010

PubMed Abstract: The genome of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans contains more than 30 putative globin genes that all are transcribed. Although their translated amino acid sequences fit the globin fold, a variety of amino-acid substitutions and extensions generate a wide structural diversity among the putative globins. No information is available on the physicochemical properties and the in vivo expression.
