Protein Coding Gene : Mpo myeloperoxidase

Primary Identifier  MGI:97137 Organism  mouse, laboratory
Chromosome  11 NCBI Gene Number  17523
Mgi Type  protein coding gene
description  FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)

Enables peroxidase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hypochlorous acid biosynthetic process; removal of superoxide radicals; and response to fungus. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; integumental system; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease 1; cystic fibrosis; kidney failure (multiple); liver disease (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to human MPO (myeloperoxidase).
PHENOTYPE: Homozygous inactivation of this gene causes neutrophil dysfunction and decreased resistance to fungal infection with Candida, and may lead to enhanced atherosclerosis, reduced neutrophil-mediated lysis of muscle cells, decreased resistance to EAE, and altered asbestos-induced lung inflammation.
