Vitamin C stimulates the chlorinating activity of human myeloperoxidase. 1984

B G Bolscher, and G R Zoutberg, and R A Cuperus, and R Wever

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) was found to stimulate the chlorinating activity of human myeloperoxidase (donor:hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.7) 3-fold in vitro and to shift the pH optimum of the reaction to higher pH values. These effects are due to the conversion by ascorbic acid of inactive compound II formed during turnover into native enzyme.

D001205 Ascorbic Acid A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets, and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form, vitamin C, functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Vitamin C is considered an antioxidant.
