MYELOPEROXIDASE (MPO) INHIBITOR SCREENING KIT (FLUOROMETRIC) Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Allgemeine Beschreibung
Myeloperoxidase (MPO: EC 1.11.2.2) is a peroxidase abundantly expressed in neutrophil granulocytes. It catalyzes the hydrogen peroxide dependent oxidation of halide ions to generate hypochlorite (HClO), the reaction by which MPO exhibits cytotoxic activity against tumor cells and microorganisms. MPO also oxidizes various substances such as phenol and anilines. MPO undergoes chlorination or peroxidation reaction depending upon the relative concentrations of chloride and the reducing substrates. Recent studies suggest that increased levels of MPO are associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease and myocardial infarction, thus development of novel and specific inhibitors of MPO is critical for therapeutic purposes.
