1.2.3.15

Accepted name:

(methyl)glyoxal oxidase

Reaction:

(1) glyoxal + H₂O + O₂ = glyoxylate + H₂O₂
(2) 2-oxopropanal + H₂O + O₂ = pyruvate + H₂O₂

Glossary:

2-oxopropanal = methylglyoxal

Other name(s):

glx1 (gene name); glx2 (gene name)

Systematic name:

(methyl)glyoxal:oxygen oxidoreductase

Comments:

The enzyme, originally characterized from the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium, utilizes a free radical-coupled copper complex for catalysis.
