Myoglobin
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Myoglobin is an oxygen-binding heme protein. Myoglobin scavenges ROS via its peroxidase activity, and binds to and inactivates NO in the heart and oxidative skeletal muscle. Myoglobin stores, buffers and facilitates intracellular oxygen diffusion, maintains aerobic metabolism under hypoxic/anoxic conditions, and provides oxygen supply support for mitochondria. Myoglobin alleviates oxidative stress, protects cardiac function and affects cardiac redox pathways. Myoglobin can be used in studies related to ischemia-reperfusion injury, oxidative stress-induced cardiac dysfunction and acute myocardial infarction.

Biological Activity
Myoglobin undergoes redox cycling in vitro upon exposure to oxygen free radicals or peroxides[3].
Myoglobin reacts with NO through multiple pathways, among which the direct reaction between oxymyoglobin and NO proceeds at the fastest rate, with a rate constant of 3.7 × 107 M-1·s-1, enabling efficient scavenging of NO[4].
