DEFINITION

Myeloperoxidase (745 aa, ~84 kDa) is encoded by the human MPO gene. This protein is involved in the regulation of the innate host defense through the production of hypohalous acids.

DesignNote

Myeloperoxidase is synthesized as a single chain precursor that is cleaved into a light and heavy chain. The mature enzyme is a tetramer composed of 2 light chains and 2 heavy chains. (EntrezGene)
