Retinal oxidase

Retinal oxidase

In enzymology, a retinal oxidase (EC number|1.2.3.11) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:retinal + O2 + H2O ightleftharpoons retinoate + H2O2

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are retinal, O2, and H2O, whereas its two products are retinoate and H2O2.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is retinal:oxygen oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called retinene oxidase. This enzyme participates in retinol metabolism.
