1.1.3.15
Accepted name
(S)-2-hydroxy-acid oxidase
Reaction
an (S)-2-hydroxy carboxylate + O2 = a 2-oxo carboxylate + H2O2
Other name(s)
hydroxy-acid oxidase A,
hydroxy-acid oxidase B,
glycolate oxidase,
L-2-hydroxy acid oxidase,
hydroxyacid oxidase A,
L-α-hydroxy acid oxidase
Systematic name
(S)-2-hydroxy carboxylate:oxygen 2-oxidoreductase
CAS registry number

Comment
A flavoprotein (FMN). Exists as two major isoenzymes; the A form preferentially oxidizes short-chain aliphatic hydroxy acids, and was previously listed as EC 1.1.3.1, glycolate oxidase; the B form preferentially oxidizes long-chain and aromatic hydroxy acids. The rat isoenzyme B also acts as EC 1.4.3.2, L-amino-acid oxidase.
History
created 1972 (EC 1.1.3.1 created 1961, incorporated 1984)
