Myoglobin from equine heart has been used as a pI marker in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.
Myoglobin from equine skeletal muscle was used in a study to test experimental protein mixture for validating tandem mass spectral analysis.
Myoglobin is a mobile carrier of oxygen that is developed in red muscle and heart cells. This happens as a response to elevated demand for oxygen during exercise, and transports oxygen from the sarcolemma to the mitochondria of vertebrate heart and red muscle cells.
