Flow Cytometry: Myeloperoxidase/MPO Antibody (2C7) [Alexa Fluor® 647] [NB100-64803AF647] - Detection of MPO in human whole blood neutrophils by flow cytometry. Flow cytometry image submitted by a verified customer ...read more
NB100-64803 recognizes human myeloperoxidase (MPO). MPO is an important component of azurophilic granules in neutrophils, being involved in microbicidal processes. The protein is a multimer of 2 heavy chains (55kD) and two light chains (15kD), the heavy chains being linked by a disulphide bond. NB100-64803 recognizes native MPO in Western blots, and the heavy chain following boiling of the sample. The antibody also recognizes recombinant MPO in Western blots and weakly in ELISA. The antibody may be of value in the study of myeloid cells and myeloid leukaemias by flow cytometry following cell permeablisation.

Background
FUNCTION: Part of the host defense system of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. It is responsible for microbicidal activity against a wide range of organisms. In the stimulated PMN, MPO catalyzes the production of hypohalous acids, primarily hypochlorous acid in physiologic situations, and other toxic intermediates that greatly enhance PMN microbicidal activity. MPO is an important marker for myeloid cells, from the promyelocyte stage and to the mature forms. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Donor + H2O2 = oxidized donor + 2 H2O. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Cl- + H2O2 = HOCl + 2 H2O. COFACTOR: Binds 1 calcium ion per heterodimer. COFACTOR: Binds 1 heme B (iron-protoporphyrin IX) group covalently per heterodimer. SUBUNIT: Tetramer of two light chains and two heavy chains. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Lysosome. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 3 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. DISEASE: Defects in MPO are the cause of myeloperoxidase deficiency (MPD). MPD is an autosomal recessive defect that results in disseminated candidiasis. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peroxidase family. XPO subfamily.
