Also known as SPO
Summary
LPO (lactoperoxidase, HGNC:6678) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q22, encoding Lactoperoxidase (P22079). Heme-containing oxidoreductase which catalyzes the conversion of thiocyanate (SCN(-)) into antimicrobial agent hypothiocyanous acid (OSCN(-)) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
This gene encodes a member of the peroxidase family of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature enzyme. Following its secretion from salivary, mammary, and other mucosal glands, this enzyme catalyzes the generation of the antimicrobial substance hypothiocyanous acid. This gene is present in a gene cluster on chromosome 17. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Heme-containing oxidoreductase which catalyzes the conversion of thiocyanate (SCN(-)) into antimicrobial agent hypothiocyanous acid (OSCN(-)) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Also involved in the conversion of iodide (I(-)) into hypoiodite (IO(-)) in the presence of H2O2. Responsible for the inactivation of a wide range of micro-organisms and hence, important component of defense mechanism. Shows antibacterial properties against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The lactoperoxidase-SCN(-)-H2O2 system shows antibacterial properties against Burkholderia cepacia and Haemophilus influenzae in vitro. Present in mammary and salivary gland secretions and may contribute to airway host defense against infection. May contribute to maintaining an appropriate H2O2 cellular level, therefore protecting cells from H2O2-caused injuries and inflammation.
Subcellular location. Secreted. Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Mammary gland, milk and salivary gland. Found in bronchial submucosal glands.
Cofactor. Binds 1 Ca(2+) ion per heterodimer. Binds 1 heme b (iron(II)-protoporphyrin IX) group covalently per heterodimer.
Miscellaneous. Thiocyanate (SCN(-)) and hypothiocyanite (OSCN(-)) are bound in the distal heme cavity. The iodide ion (I(-)) occupies a position which is stabilized by the interactions with heme moiety, His-226, Arg-372 and Glu-375. Hydrogen peroxide is held between the heme iron and His-226.
Similarity. Belongs to the peroxidase family. XPO subfamily.
