Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is a 40 kDa protein that catalyzes substrate oxidation by hydrogen peroxide to produce colored or fluorescent products or release light as a byproduct of the reaction. It is most commonly used in western blotting, immunoassays, and immunohistochemical methods. Phaseolus vulgaris lectin (PHA-L) is coupled to HRP in appropriate proportions to provide optimal staining characteristics.
