At low oxygen concentrations cytoglobin:oxygen dissociates to yield free oxygen (O2) (Burmester et al. 2002, Trent and Hargrove 2002, Hamdane et al. 2003, Fago et al. 2004). The affinity of cytoglobin for oxygen is similar to the affinity of myoglobin for oxygen therefore cytoglobin is postulated to act similarly to myoglobin in transporting oxygen from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration.
