Product details
Abcam's Myoglobin Mouse ELISA kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the quantitative measurement of Myoglobin in mouse samples.
In this assay the Myoglobin present in samples reacts with the anti-Myoglobin antibodies which have been adsorbed to the surface of polystyrene microtitre wells. After the removal of unbound proteins by washing, anti-Myoglobin antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), are added. These enzyme-labeled antibodies form complexes with the previously bound Myoglobin. Following another washing step, the enzyme bound to the immunosorbent is assayed by the addition of a chromogenic substrate, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The quantity of bound enzyme varies directly with the concentration of Myoglobin in the sample tested; thus, the absorbance, at 450 nm, is a measure of the concentration of Myoglobin in the test sample. The quantity of Myoglobin in the test sample can be interpolated from the standard curve constructed from the standards, and corrected for sample dilution.

Biological function summary
Myoglobin in muscle cells acts to store oxygen which provides a rapid release when required during muscle contraction. Myoglobin serves as a monomer and does not form part of a complex. Its structure allows it to temporarily store and relay oxygen where it is most required enhancing the often abrupt demands of muscles for oxygen. The ability of myoglobin to bind oxygen and release it under hypoxic conditions is central to its biological role in vertebrates.
Pathways
The function of myoglobin in aerobic respiration in muscles involves its participation in the oxygen transport pathway. This protein closely interacts with hemoglobin to mobilize oxygen effectively to mitochondria during muscle contraction. Unlike hemoglobin myoglobin has a hyperbolic oxygen dissociation curve which allows it to provide oxygen at lower partial pressures contributing significantly to the efficient metabolism during hypoxia or intense muscular exertion.
