Myoglobin (MB) is an iron- and oxygen-binding protein found in the muscle tissue of vertebrates and almost all mammals. Myoglobin is a single-chain globular protein containing a heme (iron containing porphyrin) prosthetic group in the center. The oxygen binding of myoglobin is unaffected by the oxygenpressure in the surrounding tissue. The only releasing time of myoglobin in the bloodstream happens after muscle injury. If myoglobin presents in blood, it will be considered to be abnormal.

The antibody is stable for at least 1 year from the date of receipt when stored at -20°C to -70°C. Reconstituted antibody can also be aliquotted and stored at 4°C for 1 month or at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer for many months without detectable loss activity. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

This antibody binds to Human Myoglobin. Cross reactivity with rat are expected from sequence similarity.
