Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a functionally important component of the normal human neutrophil azurophil granule of polymorphonuclear leukocyte’s host defense system. MPO is a hemoprotein that is abundantly expressed in neutrophils and secreted during their activation. The inflammatory component of allergic reactions can be measured by eosinophil cationic protein (ECP, specific for eosinophils) and myeloperoxidase (MPO, specific for neutrophils) measurement (1). Neutrophils, especially in acute infection or the myeloid leukemias, may shed platelet-sized particles that can readily be distinguished from true platelets because they contain neutrophil myeloperoxidase, an enzyme that is not inhibited by glutaraldehyde. Traditionally Myeloperoxidase was considered as a serological marker for granulomatosis (Churg-Strauss syndrome), the main target of anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCA), Low to moderate anti-Myeloperoxidase autoantibody levels are also reported in rheumatoid arthritis. Recently it was shown that MPO participates in the initiation and progression of cardiovascular disease. It possesses potent pro-inflammatory properties and may contribute directly to tissue injury. Now Myeloperoxidase is uncertain systemic vasculitis e.g. periarteritis nodosa, microscopic polyarteritis and pulmonary eosinophilic grander consideration as one of the most promising cardiac markers.
Human myeloperoxidase, a 745 amino acid protein, is produced by a gene composed of 12 exons and 11 introns. The sequence was found to contain an open reading frame, 2,235 nucleotides coding for a protein of 745 amino acids with a calculated Mr of 83,868. The heavy chain of myeloperoxidase, consisting of 467 amino acids, was located on the COOH terminus half of the protein. Native Myeloperoxidase is represented as a covalently bound tetrameric complex of two glycosylated alpha chains (MW 59 - 64 kDa) and two unglycosylated beta chains (MW 14 kDa) with total MW 150 kDa and theoretical pI 9.2, each of which is associated with a heme-like prosthetic group. The heme environment, defined by X-ray crystallographic analyses of MPO appears to be highly conserved in four mammalian peroxidases (lactoperoxidase, thyroid, eosinophil and Myeloperoxidase). MPO when heated under non- reducing, denaturing conditions, MPO is cleaved to produced 22 and a 38kDa proteins, these two species are produced via a novel autolytic cleavage at Meth409 and Pro410 (2).
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a heme protein synthesized during myeloid differentiation that constitutes the major component of neutrophil azurophilic granules. Produced as a single chain precursor, myeloperoxidase is subsequently cleaved into a light and heavy chain. The mature myeloperoxidase is a tetramer composed of 2 light chains and 2 heavy chains. This enzyme produces hypohalous acids central to the microbicidal activity of neutrophils. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]
Uniprot Description
MPO: Part of the host defense system of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. It is responsible for microbicidal activity against a wide range of organisms. In the stimulated PMN, MPO catalyzes the production of hypohalous acids, primarily hypochlorous acid in physiologic situations, and other toxic intermediates that greatly enhance PMN microbicidal activity. Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Each monomer consists of a light and a heavy chain. Belongs to the peroxidase family. XPO subfamily. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MPO mpo for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Myeloperoxidase, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
