Anti-Myeloperoxidase Antibody

Description

• General description: Myeloperoxidase (EC 1.11.2.2; UniProt P05164) is encoded by the MPO gene (Gene ID 4353) in human. Myeloperoxidase/MPO is a heme protein synthesized during myeloid differentiation that constitutes the major component of neutrophil azurophilic granules. Produced as a 745 a.a. single chain precursor with a signal peptide sequence (a.a. 1-48), myeloperoxidase is subsequently cleaved into a light chain (a.a.165-278) and a heavy chain (a.a. 279-745). The mature myeloperoxidase is a tetramer composed of 2 light chains and 2 heavy chains. MPO catalyzes hydrogen peroxide-dependent oxidations and the formation of hypochlorous acid that is central to the microbicidal activity of netrophils.
• Specificity: The immunogen sequence is present in the pro-fom and the mature forms of myeloperoxidase (without a.a. 1-48, a.a. 1-154, or a.a. 1-164), as well as the cleaved heavy chain (a.a. 279-745), but not light chain (a.a. 165-278).
• Immunogen: KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to a sequence within human myeloperoxidase heavy chain region.
• Application: Anti-Myeloperoxidase Antibody, Cat. No. 07-496-I, is a highly specific rabbit polyclonal antibody that targets Myeloperoxidase and has been tested in Flow Cytometry and Western Blotting.
• Quality: Evaluated by Western Blotting in Jurkat cell lysate.Western Blotting Analysis: 1 µg/mL of this antibody detected myeloperoxidase heavy chain in 10 µg of Jurkat cell lysate.
• Target description: ~92/60 kDa (glycosylated pro-form/heavy chain) observed. 83.87/73.85/87.25 kDa (isoform H17/H14/H7 pro-form), 78.94/82.32 kDa (isoform H17/H7 with a.a. 1-48 propeptide removed), 66.45/66.45/69.83 kDa (isoform H17/H14/H7 with a.a. 1-154 removed), 65.48/65.48/68.86 kDa (isoform H17/H7 isoform H17/H14/H7 with a.a. 1-164 removed), 52.51 kDa (heavy chain; a.a. 279-745) calculated. Uncharacterized bands may be observed in some lysate(s).
