L-amino-acid oxidase

L-amino-acid oxidase
L-ami·no-ac·id ox·i·dase (ə-meґno asґid okґsĭ-dās) [EC 1.4.3.2] an enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of L-amino acids to form 2-keto acids, producing hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct. The enzyme is a flavoprotein, present in liver and kidney and found in snake venom. It acts on all naturally occurring monocarboxylic L-amino acids except serine and threonine. The mammalian enzymes also attack 2-hydroxy acids; their function is unclear.
