Related Product Information for MPO assay kit
Intended Uses: This kit can be used to detect Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Peroxidation activity in serum, plasma and tissue samples.
Principle of the Assay: Under the catalysis of peroxidase, hydrogen peroxide can oxidize the nonfluorescent probe into the fluorescent substance, and its fluorescence intensity is proportional to the total peroxidase activity in the sample. This kit specifically inhibits the peroxidase activity of MPO in the sample through an MPO enzyme inhibitor, thus distinguishing the peroxidase activity of MPO in the sample from that of other peroxidases.
Background/Introduction: Myeloperoxidase is a heme-containing cationic glycoprotein that belongs to the heme peroxidase family in mammals. MPO is a dimer formed by polymerization of two subunits. Each subunit contains a heavy chain and a light chain. MPO is abundant in the azuropathic granules of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs) and a small number in monocytes and macrophages. Studies have shown that MPO plays an important role in the generation of oxidants and host defense in neutrophils and is closely related to the pathogenesis of many diseases, including cardiovascular disease, lung injury and cancer.

Product Notes
The MPO (Catalog #AAA177769) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Peroxidation, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
