The pigment in muscle that carries oxygen.

(my-uh-glow-bin) [Gk. mys, muscle + L. globus, a ball] An oxygen-storing, pigmented protein in muscle cells.

A protein that serves as a storage site for oxygen and speeds the diffusion of oxygen into muscle fibers.

The oxygen-transporting pigment of muscle tissue. myomere

"Muscle haemoglobin", an iron containing muscle pigment, that when oxygenated acts as an oxygen storage compound in Slow Twitch muscle fibres, imparting a red colour, hence red muscle fibres.

A protein which carries and stores oxygen in muscle cells.

A red iron-containing protein found in muscle that is similar to hemoglobin in the blood but only one-fourth as large. Its function is to receive oxygen from hemoglobin and deliver it to the electron [..]

The protein laden water that fills muscles and the spaces between muscle cells. It can be seen on your plate as a thin pink liquid when you cut into meat. That's right, that pink stuff is not blo [..]

(n) a hemoprotein that receives oxygen from hemoglobin and stores it in the tissues until needed

Myoglobin is a single-chain, iron-containing protein found in muscle fibers, which may be detected in the urine if muscles are damaged during a burn.

a heme-containing pigment in muscle cells that binds and stores oxygen.

A conjugated protein which is the Oxygen-transporting pigment of Muscle. It is made up of one Globin polypeptide chain and one Heme group.

A conjugated protein which is the oxygen-transporting pigment of muscle. It is made up of one globin polypeptide chain and one heme group.

An iron- and oxygen-binding protein found in the muscle tissue of vertebrates in general and in almost all mammals.
