Neuroglobin

Neuroglobin is a very special type of protein that's found in our brain and in our nervous system. It's like a tiny superhero that helps to protect our brain cells and nerve cells from getting hurt or damaged. It's kind of like wearing a helmet to protect your head when you're riding a bike or a skateboard.

This protein is really good at carrying oxygen, which is like the air that we breathe in to help our bodies work. When our brain cells and nerve cells don't get enough oxygen, they can get hurt or even die. Neuroglobin helps to make sure these important cells get all the oxygen they need to stay healthy and keep working properly.

Scientists are also very interested in neuroglobin because they think it might be able to help people who've had injuries to their brain or spinal cord. They're still doing research to find out all the different ways this protein can help us, but right now we know that it's a very important part of what keeps our nervous system healthy and working the way it should.
