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.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate buffered saline and 0.05% sodium azide.

We set out to characterize the mechanical effects of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in isolated left-ventricular human cardiomyocytes. Oxidative myofilament protein modifications (sulfhydryl (SH)-group oxidation and carbonylation) induced by the peroxidase and chlorinating activities of MPO were additionally identified. The specificity of
Noninvasive imaging identifying a predictive biomarker of the bleeding risk of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) is needed. We investigated a potential biomarker of UIA instability, myeloperoxidase, in human aneurysm tissue. Human brain aneurysms were harvested after clipping and were histologically
Decellularized extracellular matrix in the form of patches and locally injected hydrogels has long been used as therapies in animal models of disease. Here we report the safety and feasibility of an intravascularly infused extracellular matrix as a biomaterial for
C-reactive protein (CRP) exerts prothrombotic effects through dissociating from pentameric CRP (pCRP) into modified or monomeric CRP (mCRP). However, although the high prevalence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) has been identified, it
Extracellular traps (ETs) are composed of decondensed chromatin and are embedded with various antimicrobial proteins like myeloperoxidase and histones. Recently, we reported that dopamine (DA) induces ETs in BV2 microglia cell line and primary adult human microglia in a manner
