Myoglobin: Just an Oxygen Store or Also an Oxygen Transporter?
2000
Besides acting as an oxygen store during times of reduced blood oxygen supply, myoglobin can also facilitate intracellular oxygen transport by diffusion of oxymyoglobin along a Po2 gradient. We reassess the importance of myoglobin-facilitated oxygen diffusion by applying new findings on the intracellular diffusivity of myoglobin in a model calculation.
