O2 sensing in the carotid body. Schematic presentation of the signaling pathways
associated with the interplay between three gases—O2, CO, and H2S—in glomus cells of the carotid body (CB) and their impact on CB neural activity and breathing. Cys265 and Cys282 are located in the heme regulatory motif of HO-2. Ser377 is the target residue in the putative PKG recognition sequence in CSE.
