Myoglobin: From physiological roles to potential implications in cancer.

Myoglobin (MB) belongs to the well-studied globin proteins superfamily. It has been extensively studied for its physiological roles in oxygen storage and transport for about a century now. However, the last two decades shed the light on unexpected aspects for MB research.
