myeloperoxidase /my·elo·per·ox·i·dase/ (mi″ĕ-lo-per-ok´sĭ-das) a green hemoprotein in neutrophils and monocytes that catalyzes the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and halide ions to form cytotoxic acids and other intermediates; these play a role in the oxygen-dependent killing of tumor cells and microorganisms. Abbreviated MPO.

myeloperoxidase (MPO)

[mī′əlōpərok′sidās]

a peroxidase enzyme occurring in phagocytic cells that can oxidize halide ions, producing a bactericidal effect.

myeloperoxidase [mi″ĕ-lo-per-ok´sĭ-dās]

a hemoprotein having peroxidase activity, occurring in the primary granules of promyelocytes, myelocytes, and neutrophils, and that exhibits bactericidal, fungicidal, and viricidal properties.
