Function

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 (PubMed:9922160). Mediates the proteolytic cleavage of alpha-1-microglobulin to form t-alpha-1-microglobulin, which potently inhibits oxidation of low-density lipoprotein particles and limits vascular damage (PubMed:25698971).

Activity summary

Myeloperoxidase also called MPO is an enzyme that plays a critical role in the body's immune response. This protein has a mass of approximately 150 kDa and exists as a dimer composed of heavy and light polypeptide chains. Myeloperoxidase is prominently expressed in neutrophils and monocytes which are types of white blood cells important for combating infections. The enzyme catalyzes the production of hypochlorous acid and other reactive substances by utilizing hydrogen peroxide and chloride ions. These reactive substances help in neutralizing pathogens during the immune response.

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.

Associated diseases and disorders

Dysregulated MPO activity can contribute to the development of diseases. For instance myeloperoxidase is linked with atherosclerosis a cardiovascular condition where inflammation and oxidative stress lead to plaque formation in the arteries. It also associates with vasculitis an autoimmune disorder causing inflammation of blood vessels. Both disorders can relate to the inflammatory pathways that involve MPO and proteins like C-reactive protein which serves as a marker of inflammation. Understanding MPO's role in these conditions is important for effective therapeutic interventions.

    ab45977 (1/50) staining Myeloperoxidase in paraffin-embbeded human spleen tissue sections. Tissue underwent fixation in formaldehyde, heat-mediated antigen retrieval in citrate buffer pH 6.0 and blocking (5 minutes/peroxidase block and 10 minutes/protein block).

    ab45977 stained in HL60 cells. Cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5min) at room temperature and incubated with PBS containing 10% goat serum, 0.3 M glycine, 1% BSA and 0.1% tween for 1h at room temperature to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody ab45977 at 5μg/ml and ab72791 (Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control) at 1ug/ml overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibodies used were Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed ab150081 used at 1 ug/ml (colored green) and Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) ab150116 (pseudo-colored red) used at 2ug/ml for 1hour at room temperature. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (colored blue) at a concentration of 1.43μM for 1hour at room temperature.

    Western blot - Anti-Myeloperoxidase antibody (ab45977)

    This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 2% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab45977 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution ECL Substrate Kit (High Sensitivity) ab133406
