| Accepted name: |
vanillyl-alcohol oxidase |
| Reaction: |
vanillyl alcohol + O2 = vanillin + H2O2 |
| Other name(s): |
4-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzyl alcohol oxidase |
| Systematic name: |
vanillyl alcohol:oxygen oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
Vanillyl-alcohol oxidase from Penicillium simplicissimum contains covalently bound FAD. It converts a wide range of 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohols and 4-hydroxybenzylamines into the corresponding aldehydes. The allyl group of 4-allylphenols is also converted into the -CH=CH-CH2OH group. |
