L-aspartate oxidase
All Updates
Description:
In enzymology, a L-aspartate oxidase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are L-aspartate, H<sub>2</sub>O, and O<sub>2</sub>, whereas its 3 products are oxaloacetate, NH<sub>3</sub>, and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>.
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-aspartate:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating). This enzyme participates in alanine and aspartate metabolism and nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism. It employs one cofactor, FAD.
