Lactoperoxidase: Properties, Functions and Potential Applications

Abstract excerpt

Lactoperoxidase (LPO) (E.C. 1.11.1.7) is a member of the superfamily of mammalian heme peroxidases that is isolated from milk, and it is the first enzyme announced to be found in milk. LPO is found in milk, saliva, tears, and airways. It contributes significantly to the self-defense of the mammal body. It catalyzes oxidation of certain molecules such as thiocyanate (SCN⁻), I⁻ and Br⁻ in the presence of hydrogen pe...
