UniProtKB description:  Phytoglobin that reduces nitrite to nitric oxide (NO) under anoxic conditions (e.g. during flooding or in waterlogged soil) (By similarity).

Has an unusually high affinity for O(2) through an hexacoordinate heme iron because of a very low dissociation constant (By similarity).
