Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Assay Kit (500 assays)

Catalog Number:  CB6937

Introduction:

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is the most abundant proinflammatory enzyme in neutrophilic granulocytes, accounting for approximately 5% of their dry mass. It catalyzes the formation of hypochlorous acid from hydrogen peroxide, generates other highly reactive molecules such as tyrosyl radicals, and cross-links proteins. MPO is implicated in a multitude of diseases, including atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, lung cancer, and transplant rejection. We have developed a simple, rapid and highly sensitive assay to measure cell and tissue MPO activity for wide analyses of multiple types of tissues, organs. The assay will be performed within two hours from sample preparation to data availability.
