title: [Antimicrobial activity of myeloperoxidase from neutrophil peroxisome].
abstract: Myeloperoxidase plays the key role in antimicrobial oxygen-dependent activity of neutrophils. This heme-containing enzyme catalyzes HOCl formation from H2O2 and Cl-. HOCl is a strong oxidation agent produced at the significant level by neutrophils. Myeloperoxidase easily oxidizes thiocyanate to hypothiocyanate and Br- to HOBr, which are involved in protective reactions. Myeloperoxidase reacts quickly with nitric oxide and peroxynitrite in inflammation foci. All these reactions affect neutrophil-induced oxidative stress.
