Oxygen storage during dives is mostly achieved by blood hemoglobin and muscle myoglobin. Carbon monoxide also binds to other molecules such as myoglobin and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase. The hemoglobin precipitates out with the ammonia sulphate but not the myoglobin. Additionally, myoglobin and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase are affected. Myoglobin, a compound related to hemoglobin, acts to store oxygen in muscle cells. Two prominent members include myoglobin and hemoglobin. This is a common ligand for many hemeproteins including hemoglobin and myoglobin. One example is the axial base attached to Fe in myoglobin and hemoglobin. They both make use of the high affinity of hemoglobin and myoglobin for the gas. Many molecules such as potassium, creatine kinase, phosphate, and myoglobin are released into circulation. The most important is the accumulation of myoglobin in the kidney tubules. Carbon monoxide bound to myoglobin may impair its ability to utilize oxygen. High amounts of myoglobin can induce renal shutdown. Carbon monoxide also binds to the hemeprotein myoglobin. The red muscle is aerobic and needs oxygen which is supplied by myoglobin.
