MPO / Myeloperoxidase Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric)

This MPO / Myeloperoxidase Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric) can be used to measure Myeloperoxidase activity in whole neutrophils, neutrophil lysates, tissue homogenates and plasma (EDTA). Please note that this kit does not include a microplate. Protein 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.
