Myoglobin contains a heme (prosthetic) group which is responsible for its main function (carrying of oxygen molecules to muscle tissues). Myoglobin can exist in the oxygen free form, deoxymyoglobin, or in a form in which the oxygen molecule is bound, called oxymyoglobin.

The main function of Myoglobin is to store the oxygen at muscle level and supply it when muscle needs an extra amount of oxygen.
Explanation:
- Myoglobin is a monomeric protein with 153 amino acids.
- Myoglobin binds and deposit the oxygen inside the skeletal and cardiac muscle cells.
- It increases the solubility of oxygen.
- Myoglobin (Mb) is a structurally complex molecule.
- As it is a monomer contains a single polypeptide chain.
- It helps the body in the starving position of oxygen also it helps in regulating body temperature.
