Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a D-glutamate oxidase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- D-glutamate + H2O + O2 2-oxoglutarate + NH3 + H2O2
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are D-glutamate, H2O, and O2, whereas its 3 products are 2-oxoglutarate, NH3, and H2O2.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-glutamate:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating). Other names in common use include D-glutamic oxidase, and D-glutamic acid oxidase. This enzyme participates in d-glutamine and d-glutamate metabolism.
