MPO, Rat, ELISA kit – 2 x 96 det. - HK105-02

MPO Rat ELISA Kit: Myeloperoxidase Analysis MPO, a pivotal glycoprotein, showcases an alpha2beta2 heteromultimer structure and is integral in all myeloid lineage cells. This enzyme is notably concentrated in the azurophilic granules of polymorphonuclear neutrophils and plays a crucial role in the organism's defense mechanisms. It accomplishes this by producing hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a powerful oxidant, during the phagocytic degradation of foreign entities. The MPO Rat ELISA Kit brings precision to your research, especially in understanding MPO's dynamic release by activated polymorphonuclear neutrophils. It scrutinizes the enzyme's role outside the cell, where it catalyzes protein chlorination, evident in byproducts like 3-chlorotyrosine, and disrupts the functional integrity of crucial lipoproteins such as LDL and apolipoprotein A-I. These processes are instrumental in conditions like atherosclerosis, lung cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis, marking MPO's significance in a spectrum of pathologies. Traditional MPO assays, primarily enzymatic, face limitations due to the presence of inhibitory substances in tissue homogenates and plasma, often yielding inconsistent results. The MPO Rat ELISA Kit transcends these challenges, offering reliability and precision unaffected by the enzyme's inhibitors. This makes it an invaluable tool in both clinical and research settings, especially for conditions like Wegener's disease, where autoimmune antibodies target MPO. Elevate your research with the specificity and dependability of the MPO Rat ELISA Kit, designed to deliver unerring results even in complex analytical scenarios.
