Myeloperoxidase as an Active Disease Biomarker: Its Recent Biochemical and Pathological Perspectives

2018-02-15

Abstract excerpt

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) belong to the family of heme containing peroxidases, produced mostly from polymorphonuclear neutrophils. The active enzyme (150 kD) is the product of MPO gene located on long arm of chromosome 17. The primary gene product undergoes several modifications like removal of introns and signal peptide and leads to the formation of enzymatically inactive glycosylated apoproMPO which complexes with c...
