- L-galactonolactone oxidase
In
enzymology , a L-galactonolactone oxidase (EC number|1.3.3.12) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :L-galactono-1,4-lactone + O2 L-ascorbate + H2O2
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
L-galactono-1,4-lactone and O2, whereas its two products are L-ascorbic acid and H2O2.This enzyme belongs to the family of
oxidoreductase s, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-galactono-1,4-lactone:oxygen 3-oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called L-galactono-1,4-lactone oxidase. This enzyme participates inascorbic acid andaldaric acid metabolism. It employs one cofactor,FAD .References
