Background
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a heme protein synthesized during myeloid differentiation that constitutes the major component of neutrophil azurophilic granules. Produced as a single chain precursor, myeloperoxidase is subsequently cleaved into a light and heavy chain. The mature myeloperoxidase is a tetramer composed of 2 light chains and 2 heavy chains. This enzyme produces hypohalous acids central to the microbicidal activity of neutrophils. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014],
Function
catalytic activity:Cl(-) + H(2)O(2) = HOCl + 2 H(2)O.,catalytic activity:Donor + H(2)O(2) = oxidized donor + 2 H(2)O.,cofactor:Binds 1 calcium ion per heterodimer.,cofactor:Binds 1 heme B (iron-protoporphyrin IX) group covalently per heterodimer.,disease:Defects in MPO are the cause of myeloperoxidase deficiency (MPD) [MIM:254600]. MPD is an autosomal recessive defect that results in disseminated candidiasis.,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.,online information:MPO mutation db,online information:Myeloperoxidase entry,similarity:Belongs to the peroxidase family.
