Target

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.
Sequence Similarities	Belongs to the peroxidase family. XPO subfamily.
Cellular Localization	Lysosome.

Storage & Handling

Storage	Store at +4°C.
Storage Buffer	Constituent: 100% PBS
