N-acylhexosamine oxidase

Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a N-acylhexosamine oxidase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + O₂ $\rightleftharpoons$ N-acetyl-D-glucosaminate + H₂O₂

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and O₂, whereas its two products are N-acetyl-D-glucosaminate and H₂O₂.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-acyl-D-hexosamine:oxygen 1-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include N-acyl-D-hexosamine oxidase, and N-acyl-beta-D-hexosamine:oxygen 1-oxidoreductase.
