Function
Leghemoglobin that reversibly binds oxygen O(2) through a pentacoordinated heme iron. In root nodules, facilitates the diffusion of oxygen to the bacteroids while preventing the bacterial nitrogenase from being inactivated by buffering dioxygen, nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, and promoting the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS, e.g. H(2)O(2)).
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm, cytosol; Nucleus
Tissue Specificity: Root nodules
