- Product Overview:
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a heme-containing enzyme and the most abundant protein in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs).{57128} It is comprised of two subunits linked by a disulfide bridge with each subunit containing a light and a heavy polypeptide chain. It can oxidize a variety of substrates and catalyzes the formation of highly reactive (pseudo)hypohalous acids and radicals, including hypochlorous acid. MPO is stored in azurophilic granules of PMNs and is released from activated or necrotic PMNs, after which it can bind to and modify acidic serum proteins, as well as recruit additional PMNs. MPO also has roles in PMN apoptosis and antimicrobial defense systems, including neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs).{57128,23608,24590} MPO-deficient mice exhibit reduced survival in a polymicrobial sepsis model, increased susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), and increased atherosclerosis in mice also deficient in the LDL receptor and fed an atherogenic diet.{57128,57129,57127} Cayman’s Myeloperoxidase Monoclonal Antibody (Clone 2C8) was developed by fusing the spleen of a non-immunized NZBWF1 mouse with a mouse myeloma cell line and can be used for immunofluorescence (IF) applications.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
