Comparative analysis of myoglobin in Cetaceans and humans reveals novel regulatory elements and evolutionary flexibility

2023-04-10

Abstract excerpt

Cetacea and other diving mammals have undergone numerous adaptations to their aquatic environment, among them high levels of the oxygen-carrying intracellular hemoprotein myoglobin in skeletal muscles, especially those responsible for swimming. Hypotheses regarding the mechanisms leading to these high myoglobin levels often invoke exercise, hypoxia, and other physiological pathways that impact gene regulation, and...
