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.

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.
