Aryl-aldehyde oxidase
Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, an aryl-aldehyde oxidase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- an aromatic aldehyde + O2 + H2O an aromatic carboxylic acid + H2O2
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are aromatic aldehyde, O2, and H2O, whereas its two products are aromatic carboxylic acid and H2O2.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is aryl-aldehyde:oxygen oxidoreductase.
