Cat. No. : | MB-2165W |
Description : | Myoglobin contains an intracellular heme that facilitates the transport of molecular oxygen by combining with molecular oxygen to form oxymyoglobins. Measurement of myoglobin levels is useful in the diagnosis of skeletal and cardiac muscle damage. Sperm whale myoglobin is expressed in E. coli. |

Ask a questionMyoglobin's structure, with a single heme group, allows it to bind oxygen tightly, facilitating its role in oxygen storage and release in muscle tissues.
Myoglobin is released into the bloodstream when muscle cells are damaged. In the context of a myocardial infarction (heart attack), damaged heart muscle cells release myoglobin, making it a quick, albeit non-specific, marker for muscle injury.
Myoglobin's affinity for oxygen remains relatively constant across various environmental conditions, ensuring a steady oxygen supply for muscles even under stress.
While mutations in the MB gene are rare, they can lead to myoglobinuria, a condition where myoglobin is present in the urine, often after intense muscle activity.
Elevated myoglobin levels in blood tests can indicate muscle injury, including myocardial infarction. However, since myoglobin is also found in skeletal muscles, it is often used in conjunction with other markers to diagnose heart attacks.
While both myoglobin and hemoglobin bind oxygen, myoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen and does not exhibit cooperative binding. This allows myoglobin to release oxygen under conditions where hemoglobin cannot, such as during intense muscle activity.
The MB gene encodes the protein myoglobin, which is responsible for storing and releasing oxygen in muscle cells, especially in conditions of high oxygen demand.
