Short Decsription
This product is a ready-to-use IHC kit for staining of MPO. The kit provides all reagents, from antigen retrieval to cover slip mounting, that require little to no diluting or handling prior to use. Simply apply the reagents to your sample slide according to the protocol and you're steps away from obtaining high-quality IHC data.
Description
The MPO gene encodes myeloperoxidase, a lysosomal hemoprotein located in the azurophilic granules of polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocytes and monocytes. In response to stimulation, MPO is activated into a transient intermediate with potent antimicrobial oxidizing abilities. The mRNA is translated into a single protein of 90 kDa, which displays enzymatic activity and undergoes proteolytic maturation into a heavy chain of 59 kDa and a light chain of 13.5 kDa; these subunits then dimerize into the mature tetramer and the mature MPO is a heterotetramer composed of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. The 24-kDa material had a map identical to that of 13.5 kDa subunit and represents a dimer of the 13.5 kDa subunit. Defects in MPO are the cause of myeloperoxidase deficiency (MPOD).
