Myoglobin serves both as an O2 buffer and to store O2 in muscle. All known vertebrate myoglobins and β-hemoglobin subunits are similar in structure, but myoglobin binds O2 more avidly at low Po2 (Fig. 47-5) because it is a monomer (i.e., it does not undergo a significant conformational change with oxygenation). Thus, myoglobin remains fully saturated at O2 tensions between 15 and 30 mm Hg and unloads its O2 to the muscle mitochondria only at very low O2 tensions.
Myoglobin is a 17.8-kD protein that is found in cardiac and skeletal muscle and that forms complexes with iron molecules.
Highly oxidative muscle fibers contain a lot of myoglobin. It has two functions in muscle: it stores oxygen for use during heavy exercise, and it enhances diffusion through the cytosol by carrying the oxygen. By binding O2, myoglobin (Mb) provides a second diffusive pathway for O2 through the cell cytosol.
Myoglobin (Mb) is a heme-containing globular protein that is found in abundance in myocyte cells of heart and skeletal muscle.

Myoglobin is not specific for myocardial necrosis, however, especially in the presence of skeletal muscle injury and renal insufficiency.
myoglobin is not specific for the death of cardiac myocytes, and levels can be elevated in renal disease as well as damage to skeletal muscle.
Myoglobin is an oxygen-binding protein located primarily in muscles. Myoglobin serves as a local oxygen reservoir that can temporarily provide oxygen when blood oxygen delivery is insufficient during periods of intense muscular activity. Iron within the heme group must be in the Fe+2 state to bind oxygen. If iron is oxidized to the Fe+3 state, metmyoglobin is formed.
Myoglobin is a low molecular weight oxygen binding heme protein that is found exclusively in heart and skeletal muscle cells. In blood, myoglobin is bound primarily to plasma globulins, a complex which is filtered by the kidneys. If the plasma concentration exceeds the plasma binding capacity (1.5 mg/dl in humans), myoglobin begins to appear in the urine. High concentrations of myoglobin can change the color of the urine to a dark red-brown color.
Myoglobin is a heme protein found in both skeletal and cardiac muscle. Myoglobin is typically released in the circulation as early as 1 h after myocardial infarction,... Myoglobin has poor clinical specificity due to the presence of large quantities of myoglobin in skeletal muscle. Some studies suggest adding the myoglobin test to the troponin I test in order to improve diagnostic value [4]. Myoglobin, being a small protein, is excreted in urine, and a high level of serum myoglobin is encountered in patients with acute renal failure (uremic syndrome). Acute renal failure is also a complication of rhabdomyolysis, ...
