General description

Myoglobin is a hemoprotein that regulates the storage and diffusion of oxygen in heart and skeletal muscles. Additionally, this protein also protects the tissues from oxidative damage by controlling the levels of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide. Thus, myoglobin has been implicated in regulating nitric oxide and oxygen levels in the mitochondrial compartments of skeletal muscle and cardiac cells. Monoclonal Anti-Myoglobin antibody is specific for myoglobin and stains human skeletal muscles. The product does not cross-react with hemoglobin.
Myoglobin is composed of a 153 amino acid long polypeptide and heme group. This protein is encoded by the gene MB mapped to human chromosome 22q12.3. It is a unit of 20S core proteasome complex. Myoglobin is localized to the skeletal and cardiac muscle.

Immunogen

Purified human skeletal muscle myoglobin.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Myoglobin antibody is suitable for use in western blot and protein arrays.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Myoglobin participates in proteases mediated degradation of intracellular proteins Upon damage to the muscle cell due to infarction of a coronary artery, neurological trauma, infection or tumor processes, myoglobin escapes to the environment and can be found in plasma using sensitive assays.
