Myoglobin (Mb) is an iron- and oxygen-binding protein which
is expressed in vertebrate skeletal and cardiac muscles. It
contains one polypeptide chain and one heme group. It plays
an essential role in the storage and transport of oxygen to
mitochondria. Reversible oxygen binding occurs by a linkage
with the imidazole nitrogen of the 91st histidine residue in
the myoglobin chain. Myoglobin is released rom damaged
muscle tissue, making it a sensitive marker for muscleinjury
and an important clinical marker for heart attack in patients
with chest pain.
