Background

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a peroxidase enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MPO gene on chromosome 17.MPO is most abundantly expressed in neutrophil granulocytes (a subtype of white blood cells), and produces hypohalous acids to carry out their antimicrobial activity.It is a lysosomal protein stored in azurophilic granules of the neutrophil and released into the extracellular space during degranulation.MPO has a heme pigment, which causes its green color in secretions rich in neutrophils, such as pus and some forms of mucus.
