L-glutamate oxidase
Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a L-glutamate oxidase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- L-glutamate + O2 + H2O 2-oxoglutarate + NH3 + H2O2
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are L-glutamate, O2, and H2O, 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 L-glutamate:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating). Other names in common use include glutamate (acceptor) dehydrogenase, glutamate oxidase, glutamic acid oxidase, glutamic dehydrogenase (acceptor), and L-glutamic acid oxidase. It employs one cofactor, FAD.
