Description
In enzymology, an alcohol oxidase (EC 1.1.3.13) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:a primary alcohol + O₂↔ an aldehyde + H₂O₂. Thus, the two substRates of this enzyme are primary alcohol and O2, whereas its two products are aldehyde and H2O2. This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. It employs one cofactor, FAD.ApplicationsAlcohol Oxidase may be used to study protein translocation into peroxisomes. This product is from Pichia pastoris. It has been used for the bacterial expression and immunological verification of Hv-p68 cDNA clones
