• Reactivity: Human
• Applications: User optimized
• Synonyms: Myoglobin; Polyclonal Antibody; Myoglobin antibody; Polyclonal Myoglobin; Anti-Myoglobin; anti-MB antibody

• Host: Goat
• Reactivity: Human
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Specificity: Human
• Form/Format: Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.05% NaN3.

• Biological Significance: Myoglobin is an iron- and oxygen-binding protein found in the muscle tissue of vertebrates in general and in almost all mammals. The only time myoglobin is found in the bloodstream is when it is released following muscle injury. It is an abnormal finding, and can be relevant when found in blood.
• Biohazard Information: This product contains sodium azide as preservative. Although the amount of sodium azide is very small appropriate care must be taken when handling this product.
• Immunogen: Myoglobin antibody was raised in goat using highly purified human cardiac myoglobin as the immunogen.
• Preparation and Storage: Store at 4 degree C for short term storage. Aliquot and store at -20 degree C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a member of the globin superfamily and is expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscles. The encoded protein is a haemoprotein contributing to intracellular oxygen storage and transcellular facilitated diffusion of oxygen. At least three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description
