| alternative oxidase pathway | Pathway of mitochondrial electron transport in higher plants, particularly in fruits and seeds, that does not involve cytochrome oxidase and thus is resistant to cyanide. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| amine oxidase | <enzyme> A group of enzymes including those oxidizing primary monoamines, diamines, and histamine. They are copper proteins, and, as their action depends on a carbonyl group, they are sensitive to inhibition by saemicarbazide. Chemical name: Amine:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating)(copper-containing) Registry number: EC 1.4.3.6 (12 Dec 1998) |
| amine oxidase (copper-containing) | An oxidoreductase containing copper, and perhaps pyridoxal phosphate, and carrying out the same reaction as amine oxidase (flavin-containing). Synonym: amine oxidase (pyridoxal-containing), diamine oxidase, diamino oxyhydrase, histaminase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amine oxidase (flavin-containing) | An oxidoreductase containing flavin and oxidizing amines with the aid of O2 and water to aldehydes or ketones with the release of NH3 and H2O2. Acted upon by antidepressants. Synonym: adrenaline oxidase, diamine oxidase, monoamine oxidase, tyraminase, tyramine oxidase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amine oxidase (pyridoxal-containing) | amine oxidase (copper-containing) |
| arginine oxidase | <enzyme> Catalyses the oxidative deamination from arginine to 2-ketoarginine Registry number: EC 1.4.3.- Synonym: arginine dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| arsenite oxidase | <enzyme> Two n-terminal amino acid iron-sulfur protein containing molybdenum; detoxifies arsenite to arsenate Registry number: EC 1.16.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| aryl-alcohol oxidase | <enzyme> Flavoprotein acting on a variety of benzyl, cinnamyl, naphthyl and aliphatic unsaturated alcohols Registry number: EC 1.1.3.7 (26 Jun 1999) |
| ascorbate oxidase | <enzyme> An enzyme that converts ascorbic acid to dehydroascorbic acid. Chemical name: L-Ascorbate:oxygen oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.10.3.3 (12 Dec 1998) |
| azoxy procarbazine oxidase | <enzyme> does not require NADP for action or azoxyprocarbazine, but acts as a nad dependent aldehyde dehydrogenase for propionaldehyde Registry number: EC 1.2.1.- Synonym: azoxy 1 pcz oxidase, azoxy 2 pcz oxidase, azoxy 3 pcz oxidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| benzylamine oxidase | <enzyme> An aspect of monoamine oxidase, catalyses the oxidation of benzylamine to form benzaldehyde, ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. Registry number: EC 1.4.3.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| beta-aminoisobutyric acid oxidase | <enzyme> Fad-stimulated, probably forms methylmalonylsaemialdehyde Registry number: EC 1.4.3.- Synonym: baib-oxidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| branched chain acyl-CoA oxidase | <enzyme> Enzyme from human liver peroxisomes acts on both 2-methyl branched fatty acyl- and bile acid-CoA intermediates, unlike rat liver peroxisomes which have separate enzymes for branched chain fatty acids (pristanoyl-CoA) and bile acid-CoA; involved in beta-oxidation of fatty acids and bil Registry number: EC 1.3.3.- Synonym: 2-methyl-branched chain acyl-CoA oxidase, hbrcacox (26 Jun 1999) |
| galactose oxidase | <enzyme> An enzyme that oxidises galactose in the presence of molecular oxygen to d-galacto-hexodialdose. It is a copper protein. Chemical name: D-Galactose:oxygen 6-oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.3.9 (12 Dec 1998) |
| vanillyl-alcohol oxidase | <enzyme> From penicillium simplicissimum; contains fad; forms vanillin or 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, respectively, from vanillyl alcohol or 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol Registry number: EC 1.1.3.- Synonym: 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol oxidase (26 Jun 1999) |
