A Bacterial Myeloperoxidase with Antimicrobial Properties
BioTech, 2023 The four mammalian peroxidases (myeloperoxidase, eosinophilperoxidase, lactoperoxidase, and thyroid peroxidase) are widely studied in the literature. They catalyze the formation of antimicrobial compounds and participate in innate immunity.

Import of cytochrome c into mitochondria [PDF]
, 1989 The covalent attachment of heme to apocytochrome c, and therefore the import of cytochrome c into mitochondria, is dependent on both NADH plus a cytosolic cofactor that has been identified to be FMN or FAD.

Heme Catabolism and Heme Oxygenase in Neurodegenerative Disease
Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2004 Heme oxygenase, the rate-limiting step in heme catabolism, appears to play an important role in a number of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer disease. Interestingly, the spatial distribution of heme oxygenase-1 expression in diseased brain is essentially identical to that of the pathological expression of tau, suggesting a key role for ...

Role of Heme Oxygenase as a Modulator of Heme-Mediated Pathways
Antioxidants, 2019 The heme oxygenase (HO) system is essential for heme and iron homeostasis and necessary for adaptation to cell stress. HO degrades heme to biliverdin (BV), carbon monoxide (CO) and ferrous iron.

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

A Comparison of Pathophysiology in Humans and Rodent Models of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018 Non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) affects an estimated 30,000 people each year in the United States, with an overall mortality of ~30%. Most cases of SAH result from a ruptured intracranial aneurysm, require long hospital stays, and result in ...
