Description

Myoglobin CAS NO 9047-17-0 is a heme-containing, oxygen-binding protein found in muscle tissue, primarily responsible for intracellular oxygen storage and diffusion. Its unique redox and ligand-binding properties make it a critical biochemical reagent and research standard. This high-purity protein is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, diagnostics, and biotechnology sectors.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Assay Development: Used as a standard and reagent in studies of oxygen transport, free radical biology, and heme protein kinetics.
• Diagnostic Kit Manufacturing: Serves as a key component or calibrator in diagnostic assays for muscle damage and related cardiac conditions.
• Food Science & Meat Quality Analysis: Employed as a marker for meat authenticity and to study color stability and oxidation processes in meat products.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Investigated for its potential therapeutic applications, including as an oxygen carrier in blood substitutes and in ischemia-reperfusion injury research.
• Educational & Reference Material: Supplied to academic and industrial laboratories for teaching and calibration purposes in protein chemistry.

Quality Control

Our Myoglobin is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is characterized to ensure identity, purity, and functional activity, meeting the exacting standards required for research and industrial applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (by HPLC/SDS-PAGE), absorbance ratios (A408/A280), and biological activity are available upon request.

Storage

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