Pyranose oxidase

In enzymology, a pyranose oxidase (EC number|1.1.3.10) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:D-glucose + O₂ $ightleftharpoons$ 2-dehydro-D-glucose + H₂O₂

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are D-glucose and O₂, whereas its two products are 2-dehydro-D-glucose 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 pyranose:oxygen 2-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include glucose 2-oxidase, and pyranose-2-oxidase. This enzyme participates in pentose phosphate pathway. It employs one cofactor, FAD.
