How myoglobin is Distributed in cardiac disorders?
myoglobin
What compound stored oxygen inside skeletal muscle cells?
keratinThe correct answer is NOT keratin... the correct answer is myoglobin. This is the oxygen-binding pigment in muscle.
What the primary structure of myoglobin?
The amino-acid secquence of myoglobin is the primary structure.
What is nitric oxide myoglobin?
When myoglobin is reduced by nitric oxide through the curing process.
What is the difference between haemoglobin and myoglobin?
in myoglobin, the molecules are compacted but in haemoglobin, the molecule formed by 4 subunits which are identical in pairs. its 4 times larger than myoglobin.
What is a myoglobin test?
Myoglobin is a protein found in muscle. Myoglobin tests are done to evaluate a person who has symptoms of a heart attack (myocardial infarction) or other muscle damage.
Is myoglobin an enzyme?
No.
What does myoglobin do for muscles?
Myoglobin's function is similar to that of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in red blood cells to various tissues. Myoglobin has even higher affinity for oxygen than hemoglobin and is specific to muscle cells. Myoglobin thus acts as a storage of oxygen, as it holds oxygen inside heart and skeletal muscles.
One advantage hemoglobin has over myoglobin as a respiratory pigment is that?
Cooperative binding. Hemoglobin can load and unload oxygen better than myoglobin. So it is kore sensitive to changes in the environment, vs. Myoglobin
What is the effect of a high myoglobin on the heart muscle?
A high myoglobin means that the heart muscle has been broken down. It can also mean that a heart attack happened. Myoglobin is a protein that can be found in the heart muscle.
The bright red color of skeletal muscle is due mainly to its?
Myoglobin-myoglobin stores oxygen from red blood cells, which are red. The reason myoglobin stores oxygen (if you wanna know) is to have it available when there's muscle activity.
Is myoglobin a constituent of blood?
yes
