OverviewNCBI Gene
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.

Whether an antibody against LPO can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads LPO as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against LPO could matter depends on whether native LPO is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
LPO is annotated as secreted, so native LPO circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label LPO as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
