Description
Myoglobin is a member of the globin superfamily and is predominantly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscles. It forms a monomeric globular haemoprotein that is primarily responsible for the storage and facilitated transfer of oxygen from the cell membrane to the mitochondria. This protein also plays a role in regulating physiological levels of nitric oxide.
