Description
The MB gene encodes myoglobin, a cytoplasmic hemoprotein expressed primarily in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Myoglobin reversibly binds oxygen, facilitating oxygen storage and diffusion within muscle cells, and plays a role in nitric oxide scavenging and mitochondrial respiration.

Protein Summary
Myoglobin is a 154-amino acid monomeric globin protein with a heme prosthetic group. It adopts a typical globin fold with eight alpha-helices. The protein binds oxygen with high affinity and facilitates oxygen diffusion in muscle. Post-translational modifications include heme coordination and nitric oxide binding.
