ID:PERM_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Myeloperoxidase; Short=MPO; EC=1.11.2.2; Contains: RecName: Full=Myeloperoxidase; Contains: RecName: Full=89 kDa myeloperoxidase; Contains: RecName: Full=84 kDa myeloperoxidase; Contains: RecName: Full=Myeloperoxidase light chain; Contains: RecName: Full=Myeloperoxidase heavy chain; Flags: Precursor; 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. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Cl(-) + H(2)O(2) + H(+) = HClO + H(2)O. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Cl(-) + H(2)O(2) = HOCl + 2 H(2)O. COFACTOR: Binds 1 calcium ion per monomer. COFACTOR: Binds 1 heme B (iron-protoporphyrin IX) group covalently per monomer. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Each monomer consists of a light and a heavy chain. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Lysosome. DISEASE: Defects in MPO are the cause of myeloperoxidase deficiency (MPOD) [MIM:254600]. A disorder characterized by decreased myeloperoxidase activity in neutrophils and monocytes that results in disseminated candidiasis. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peroxidase family. XPO subfamily.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
