Recombinant Human Myoglobin

Myoglobin is a globular haemoprotein that is primarily responsible for the storage and transport of oxygen in muscles. It is a member of the globin superfamily and is predominantly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscles. It is released from damaged muscle tissue and from the myocardium during acute myocardial infarction. However, it has low specificity for myocardial infarction and therefore other clinical findings are also taken into consideration during diagnosis.
