Description
A specific protein, similar in structure and function to hemoglobin, found in muscle tissue and ensuring oxygen storage within it. Myoglobin is capable of accumulating oxygen, releasing it during intense physical exertion when the oxygen supplied by the blood is insufficient to maintain metabolic processes at the proper level. Myoglobin is a marker of muscle tissue damage, including heart tissue. Its level rises within the first few hours after the onset of myocardial infarction.
