About Mb

Summary

Enables oxygen binding activity. Involved in several processes, including oxygen transport; response to hydrogen peroxide; and slow-twitch skeletal muscle fiber contraction. Used to study acute kidney failure. Orthologous to human MB (myoglobin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
