The myoglobin of rodents Proechimys guairae (casiragua) and Mus musculus (house mouse).
The amino acid sequences of the myoglobins of two rodents, the casiragua and the house mouse, have been determined. The myoglobin of casiragua differs from that of viscacha (another hystricomorph) at 6 positions. Mouse myoglobin differs from that of mole-rat (another myomorph) at 17 positions, whereas casiragua and mouse differ at 22 positions. Mouse myoglobin possesses several features unique among all known myoglobins (Gly 31, Cys 66, Thr 74 and Glu 113) and one substitution unique among known mammalian myoglobins (Glu 53).
