Product overview
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Peroxidation Activity Assay Kit (Fluorometric) (ab273334) oxidizes a substrate to generate fluorescence (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm), which is directly proportional to total peroxidase activity in the sample. A specific MPO inhibitor is provided, which suppresses peroxidase activity due to MPO. This permits differentiation of MPO-mediated peroxidation from the activity of other peroxidases which may be present in the samples.
This kit provides a sensitive, quick and easy method for detecting MPO activity and can detect less than 2 µU of MPO activity. -

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. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in MPO are the cause of myeloperoxidase deficiency (MPD) [MIM:254600]. MPD is an autosomal recessive defect that results in disseminated candidiasis. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peroxidase family. XPO subfamily. -
