General Description

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an oxidoreductase which is part of the heme peroxidase superfamily.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is present in the neutrophils and released when leukocytes are activated. It takes part in defense mechanisms and oxidizes low-density lipoprotein. MPO possesses a chlorinating activity with which it generates hypochlorous acid (an anti-microbial agent). It also decreases the bioavailability of nitric oxide.
