lctO (gene name);
LOX
Class
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the CH-OH group of donors;
With oxygen as acceptor
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
(S)-lactate:oxygen 2-oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)
(S)-lactate + O2 = pyruvate + H2O2 [RN:
R11996 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
Comment
Contains flavin mononucleotide (FMN). The best characterized enzyme is that from the bacterium Aerococcus viridans. The enzyme is widely used in biosensors to measure the lactate concentration in blood and other tissues.
History
