ANTI-HUMAN MYOGLOBIN

Uses

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

General Description

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.

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.
