Invitrogen™ EnzChek™ Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Activity Assay Kit
Description
For measuring MPO activities and high-throughput screening for MPO-specific inhibitors
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is unique peroxidase that, in addition to its peroxidation activity, also catalyzes conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and chloride (Cl-) to hypochlorous acid (HOCl). The EnzChek™ Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Activity Assay Kit provides assays for determination of both chlorination and peroxidation activities of MPO in solution and in cell lysates.
- For detection of chlorination, kit includes nonfluorescent 3'-(p-aminophenyl) fluorescein (APF), which is selectively cleaved by hypochlorite (-OCl) to yield fluorescein Peroxidation is detected using nonfluorescent AmplexUltraRed reagent (A36006), which is oxidized by H2O2-generated redox intermediates MPO-I and MPO-II to form fluorescent product
- EnzChek Myeloperoxidase Activity Assay Kit can be used to continuously detect these activities at room temperature over broad dynamic range (1.5 to 200ng/mL)
- Kit combines speed (30 minutes), sensitivity and mix-and-read convenience

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The EnzChek Myeloperoixdase Activity Assay Kit (Cat. No. E33856) can detect myeloperoxidase activity at a broad dynamic range of 1.5 to 200 ng/mL.
MPO is inhibited by azide, diclofenac, methimazole, quercetin, rutin, and salicylhydroxamic acid. Make certain that samples do not include sodium azide. Endogenous catalases can interfere with the assay; catalase activity may be inhibited by using 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole. Detergents, common components in cell lysis buffers, should be avoided; use freeze/thawing and/or mechanical methods to lyse cells.
