| Name |
arginine 2-monooxygenase;
arginine monooxygenase;
arginine decarboxylase;
arginine oxygenase (decarboxylating);
arginine decarboxy-oxidase |
| Class |
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on single donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation of
oxygen into the substrate (oxygenases). The oxygen incorporated need
not be derived from O2;
With incorporation of one atom of oxygen (internal monooxygenases or
internal mixed-function oxidases)
