Note generali
Mouse anti Human myoglobin, clone 164.3D5 is a monoclonal antibody recognizing human myoglobin, a single-chain globular ~17 kDa protein containing a heme prosthetic group localized to skeletal muscle. Myoglobin is responsible for the storage and movement of oxygen in muscle tissue.Myoglobin is released from injured muscle into the bloodstream, making it a sensitive marker for all muscle injury. It is commonly used in combination with troponin as a marker for myocardial damage in heart attacks. It is filtered by the kidneys, but is a potential cause of renal failure as it is toxic to the renal tubular epithelium (Lima et al. 2008).
