L-glutamate oxidase

In enzymology, a L-glutamate oxidase (EC number|1.4.3.11) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:L-glutamate + O₂ + H₂O $ightleftharpoons$ 2-oxoglutarate + NH₃ + H₂O₂

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are L-glutamate, O₂, and H₂O, whereas its 3 products are 2-oxoglutarate, NH₃, and H₂O₂.

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-glutamate:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating). Other names in common use include glutamate (acceptor) dehydrogenase, glutamate oxidase, glutamic acid oxidase, glutamic dehydrogenase (acceptor), and L-glutamic acid oxidase. It employs one cofactor, FAD.
