a hemeprotein synthesized by leukocytes: do not confuse with PEROXIDASES, a subclass of oxidoreductases
Scope Note
A hemeprotein from leukocytes. Deficiency of this enzyme leads to a hereditary disorder coupled with disseminated moniliasis. It catalyzes the conversion of a donor and peroxide to an oxidized donor and water. EC 1.11.1.7.
Entry Term(s)
