Myeloperoxidase, human white blood cells (MPO) 是一种过氧化物酶,通过促进活性氧 (ROS) 和活性氮 (RNS) 的生成来调节小胶质细胞及中性粒细胞的极化,并影响炎症相关信号通路,进而介导氧化应激。此外,Myeloperoxidase, human white blood cells 还具备抗菌 (antibacterial) 活性。
MPO-IN-3, a powerful inhibitor of myeloperoxidase (MPO), is described as such in example 191 of WO2013068875A1. MPO, a heme-containing enzyme, is classified under the peroxidase superfamily.
