Application DetailsImmunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 0.1-0.5 µg/mL is recommended for WB. Human MPO (isoform H17) has a predicted length of 745 residues and MW of 84 kDa. A concentration of 0.5-1.0 µg/mL is recommended to detect the protein in formalin/paraffin embedded tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval in 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0 for 20 minutes is required. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Scientific BackgroundFUNCTION: 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. MPO is an important marker for myeloid cells, from the promyelocyte stage and to the mature forms. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Donor + H2O2 = oxidized donor + 2 H2O. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Cl- + H2O2 = HOCl + 2 H2O. COFACTOR: Binds 1 calcium ion per heterodimer. COFACTOR: Binds 1 heme B (iron-protoporphyrin IX) group covalently per heterodimer. SUBUNIT: Tetramer of two light chains and two heavy chains. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Lysosome. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: At least 3 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. DISEASE: Defects in MPO are the cause of myeloperoxidase deficiency (MPD). MPD is an autosomal recessive defect that results in disseminated candidiasis. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peroxidase family. XPO subfamily. Microglia and astrocytes are known to express MPO as well.
