Capable of reversible oxygenation and deoxygenation. Measurement of myoglobin levels is useful in the diagnosis of skeletal and cardiac muscle damage. Supplied as a 1:1 mixture of mature and immature forms of myoglobin. The amino acid sequence of the mature form is identical to that of the native material; the immature form has an N-terminal methionine residue. MS: 17670 (mature) and 17801 (immature). Purity: single band by SDS-PAGE (mature and immature forms are indistinguishable by SDS-PAGE). CAS 11080-17-4. M.W. 17,670 (mature form) and 17,801 (immature form). Ref.: Varadajan, R., et al. 1985.
