Acetylindoxyl oxidase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, an acetylindoxyl oxidase (EC 1.7.3.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- N-acetylindoxyl + O2
N-acetylisatin + (?)
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-acetylindoxyl and O2, whereas its product is N-acetylisatin.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on other nitrogenous compounds as donors with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-acetylindoxyl:oxygen oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in tryptophan metabolism.
