Product details
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a peroxidase enzyme most abundantly expressed in neutrophil granulocytes. It is a lysosomal protein stored in the azurophilic granules of the neutrophil. MPO contains a heme pigment which causes its green color in secretions rich in neutrophils, such as pus and some forms of mucus. MPO catalyzes the production of hypochlorous acid (HClO) from hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and chloride anion (Cl-, or the equivalent from a non-chlorine halide). MPO also oxidizes tyrosine to a tyrosyl radical using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent.
This Rat Myeloperoxidase ELISA kit (ab285308, E4581) is a sandwich ELISA assay for the quantitative measurement of MPO in Rat serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants. The density of color is proportional to the amount of MPO captured from the samples.

Biological function summary
The generation of reactive oxygen species by myeloperoxidase is essential for microbicidal activity. Myeloperoxidase functions as part of the antimicrobial system in the phagosome which is the intracellular compartment where pathogens are degraded. This enzyme works in conjunction with other components of the immune system such as NADPH oxidase. By generating hypochlorous acid MPO contributes to the oxidative burst a rapid release of reactive oxygen species during the response to pathogens.
Pathways
Myeloperoxidase integrates into the immune defense and inflammatory pathways. In particular it is associated with the neutrophil degranulation pathway where it releases its enzymatic contents to fight off microbes. MPO also interacts with proteins involved in oxidative stress processes such as superoxide dismutase which moderates levels of reactive oxygen species in cells. These interactions ensure balance in the immune response preventing excessive tissue damage during inflammation.
