- Putrescine oxidase
In
enzymology , a putrescine oxidase (EC number|1.4.3.10) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :putrescine + O2 + H2O ightleftharpoons 4-aminobutanal + NH3 + H2O2
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are
putrescine , O2, and H2O, whereas its 3 products are4-aminobutanal , NH3, and H2O2.This enzyme belongs to the family of
oxidoreductase s, specifically those acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is putrescine:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating). This enzyme participates inurea cycle and metabolism of amino groups . It employs one cofactor,FAD .References
