    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Myoglobin Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total myoglobin protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Phe139 of human myoglobin protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    Myoglobin (MB) is an oxygen-binding protein that contains one polypeptide chain and one heme group. It is expressed in vertebrate skeletal and cardiac muscles where it plays an essential role in the storage and transport of oxygen to mitochondria. Reversible oxygen binding occurs by a linkage with the imidazole nitrogen of the 91st histidine residue in the myoglobin chain. Research studies indicate that the blockade of myoglobin in isolated cardiac myocytes mimics hypoxia when electrically stimulated for paced contractions (1). During fetal development, myoglobin is required to support cardiac function (2). Diving mammals are known to have high concentrations of myoglobin in their blood, which may contribute to their ability to endure long periods of oxygen deprivation during deep dives (3).
