LPO - lactoperoxidase Gene
Also Known as SPO
Species: Homo sapiens
About LPO
This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 205 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Restricted expression toward salivary gland (RPKM 211.8).
Summary
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.
