14.1 POJA-L6208+6209 Juvenile skeletal muscle myoglobin (human)
Title: Histochemical staining of juvenile skeletal muscle myoglobin (human)
Description:
Cross sectioned (A) and longitudinally sectioned (B) juvenile skeletal muscles. The green arrows point to the myoglobin-type I skeletal muscle fibres. Myoglobin is found mostly in type I muscle fibres but is also present in type II A, and in type II B. Myoglobin is an iron- and oxygen-binding protein and in human it is encoded by the MB gene. It is a sarcoplasmic protein that binds oxygen on a haem, furthermore it only contains one globulin group.
The function of myoglobin is to store oxygen and damaged skeletal muscles will release myoglobin e.g. in rhabdomyolysis.
Keywords/Mesh: locomotor system, skeletal muscle, striated muscle, myoglobin, type I fibre, type II fibre, histochemistry, POJA collection
