UniProtKB description:  Phytoglobin that reduces nitrite to nitric oxide (NO) under anoxic conditions (e.g. during flooding or in waterlogged soil) (By similarity). May not function as an oxygen storage or transport protein (By similarity). Has an unusually high affinity for O(2) through an hexacoordinate heme iron because of a very low dissociation constant (By similarity).
