EC 1.1.3.38                 Enzyme                                 

Name vanillyl-alcohol oxidase;
4-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzyl alcohol oxidase
Class Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the CH-OH group of donors;
With oxygen as acceptor
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname vanillyl alcohol:oxygen oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB) vanillyl alcohol + O2 = vanillin + H2O2 [RN:R02877]
Reaction(KEGG) R02877
Show
Substrate vanillyl alcohol [CPD:C06317];
O2 [CPD:C00007]
Product vanillin [CPD:C00755];
H2O2 [CPD:C00027]
Cofactor FAD [CPD:C00016]
Comment Vanillyl-alcohol oxidase from Penicillium simplicissimum contains
covalently bound FAD. It converts a wide range of 4-hydroxybenzyl
alcohols and 4-hydroxybenzylamines into the corresponding aldehydes.
The allyl group of 4-allylphenols is also converted into the
-CH=CH-CH2OH group.
