Description | This entry includes various FAD dependent oxidoreductases: glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase ( ), sarcosine oxidase beta subunit ( ), D-amino acid dehydrogenase ( ), D-aspartate oxidase ( ). D-amino acid oxidase ( ) (DAMOX or DAO) is an FAD flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of neutral and basic D-amino acids into their corresponding keto acids. DAOs have been characterised and sequenced in fungi and vertebrates where they are known to be located in the peroxisomes. D-aspartate oxidase ( ) (DASOX) [ ] is an enzyme, structurally related to DAO, which catalyzes the same reaction but is active only toward dicarboxylic D-amino acids. In DAO, a conserved histidine has been shown [ ] to be important for the enzyme's catalytic activity. |
