title: The emerging roles of somatic globins in cardiovascular redox biology and beyond.
abstract: The vertebrate globins are a group of hemoproteins with the intrinsic capacity to regulate gaseous ligands and redox signaling required for cardiovascular biology. This graphical review will provide a comprehensive synopsis of somatic cardiovascular globins focusing on expression, function and redox signaling - an emerging area in both physiology and disease.
