Long-chain-alcohol oxidase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a long-chain-alcohol oxidase (EC 1.1.3.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

2 long-chain alcohol + O₂ 2 long-chain aldehyde + 2 H₂O

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are long-chain alcohol and O₂, whereas its two products are long-chain aldehyde and H₂O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is long-chain-alcohol:oxygen oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include long-chain fatty alcohol oxidase, fatty alcohol oxidase, fatty alcohol:oxygen oxidoreductase, and long-chain fatty acid oxidase.
