Cayman’s MPO Peroxidation Fluorometric Assay provides a convenient fluorescence-based method for detecting MPO peroxidase activity in both crude cell lysates and purified enzyme preparations. The assay utilizes the peroxidase component of MPO, where a single two-electron oxidation of native enzyme (MPO) to compound I (MPO-I) is followed by two successive one-electron reductions back to native enzyme by compound II (MPO-II).1 The reaction between hydrogen peroxide and ADHP (10-acetyl-3,7-dihydroxyphenoxazine) produces the highly fluorescent compound resorufin. Resorufin fluorescence can be easily analyzed with an excitation wavelength of 530 nm and emission wavelength of 590 nm. The kit includes an MPO-specific inhibitor for distinguishing MPO activity from MPO-independent fluorescence.
Needed but not supplied: Please download the kit booklet to verify if UltraPure Water (Milli-Q or equivalent) or any other components are needed for this assay.
