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.

Myoglobin (Mb) buffers intracellular O2 and facilitates diffusion of O2 through the cell. These functions of Mb will be most effective when intracellular PO2 is near the partial pressure of oxygen at which Mb is half saturated (P50) of the

For more than 100 years, myoglobin has been among the most extensively studied proteins. Since the first comprehensive review on myoglobin function as a dioxygen store by Millikan in 1939 and the discovery of its structure 50 years ago, multiple
Our previous studies demonstrated that an 8-week intake of 5% (w/w) apple polyphenol (APP) in the diet improves muscle endurance of young-adult rats. In order to identify a lower limit of the dietary contribution of APP to the effect, the
