Gene Information
human ... MB(4151)
General description
MB (Myoglobin) gene encodes a hemoprotein belonging to the globin superfamily. It is expressed in cytoplasmic region of skeletal and cardiac muscles. The gene is 10.4kb long and contains three exons and two introns with long non-coding regions. It functions in the storage and diffusion of oxygen from the vascular system to muscle mitochondria.
Immunogen
Myoglobin recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
MB (Myoglobin) functions in the storage and diffusion of oxygen from the vascular system to muscle mitochondria. It acts as a radical scavenger in the prevention of hypoxia in renal cell carcinoma. It has been reported that Mb may act as a sensitive marker for hypovascularized tumor entities in the early stage of hypoxia.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Recent studies identified unexpected expression and transcriptional complexity of the hemoprotein myoglobin (MB) in human breast cancer but its role in prostate cancer is still unclear. Expression of MB was immunohistochemically analyzed in three independent cohorts of radical prostatectomy specimens

Myoglobin is a member of the hemoprotein superfamily, which additionally includes hemoglobin, neuroglobin and cytoglobin. Cytoplasmic localized myoglobin functions as a radical scavenger and prevents hypoxia. Besides muscle tissue MB expression could also be observed in other tissues as well

Different regions of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) have particular histopathological and molecular characteristics limiting the standard tumor-node-metastasis prognosis classification. Therefore, defining biological signatures that allow assessing the prognostic outcomes for OSCC patients would be of great clinical significance. Using
