Description

Myoglobin From Horse Skeletal Muscle is a purified heme protein derived from equine skeletal muscle tissue, serving as a critical oxygen-binding and storage molecule. This high-purity biological reagent is essential for research and diagnostic applications requiring a well-characterized standard or substrate. It is primarily utilized by biochemists, pharmaceutical researchers, and diagnostic kit manufacturers for studies in muscle physiology, oxidative stress, and as a model protein in various assays.

Application

• Biochemical Research Standard: Used as a reference standard in spectroscopic studies, protein chemistry, and heme-protein interaction research.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Serves as a key component or calibrator in diagnostic assays for muscle damage and related conditions.
• Oxygen Metabolism Studies: Employed in vitro to investigate oxygen storage, transport, and release mechanisms at the cellular level.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Acts as a model protein for drug binding studies, stability testing, and formulation research.
• Food Science Research: Utilized in studies related to meat color, quality, and oxidation processes in muscle-based foods.
• Educational Tool: Provides a classic example of a globular protein for teaching advanced biochemistry and molecular biology concepts.

Quality Control

Our Myoglobin From Horse Skeletal Muscle is produced under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high biological activity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including purity assessment by electrophoresis and HPLC, verification of the characteristic Soret band absorbance, and determination of iron content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized material at 2-8°C. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or below to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to maintain integrity.
