Editorial focus: Myoglobin-2, an adaptation for life at low oxygen pressure. Focus on: "Functional differentiation of myoglobin isoforms in the hypoxia-tolerant carp".

Abstract: the common carp lives in stagnant ponds where it must weather long periods of low environmental oxygen pressure. In a dramatic adaptation to life in this environment, carp and a few related fishes develop a novel myoglobin-like protein, myoglobin-2, found only in the brain ([3][1]), where it may
