'''Lactoperoxidase''' (LPO) catalyzes the oxidation of thiocyanate, bromide and iodide using hydrogen peroxide. LPO is the second most abundant enzyme in milk. Heme is the cofactor of LPO. LPO contains a strongly-chelated calcium ion<ref>PMID:10837362</ref>. | '''Lactoperoxidase''' (LPO) catalyzes the oxidation of thiocyanate, bromide and iodide using hydrogen peroxide.
