ANTI-HUMAN MYOGLOBIN

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

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.

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.
