| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Oxygen is essential for human activities. It is needed to generate ATP, which is an energy source consumed by mitochondria inside cells. Myoglobin is a type of protein which assists oxygen transport inside muscle cells, from outside to mitochondria, and stores a large amount of oxygen. The objective of this study was to reveal the regulatory mechanism for myoglobin expression and its physiological significance. According to the results of detailed analyses, it was found that elevation of cyclic AMP concentration inside the skeletal muscle cells was crucial to increase myoglobin expression.
