Modelling of Thyroid Peroxidase Reveals Insights into Its Enzyme Function and Autoantigenicity.
Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) catalyses the biosynthesis of thyroid hormones and is a major autoantigen in Hashimoto's disease--the most common organ-specific autoimmune disease. Epitope mapping studies have shown that the autoimmune response to TPO is directed mainly at two surface regions on the m...
