mono·oxy·gen·ase (mon″o-okґsĭ-jə-nās″) a term used in the recommended names of some enzymes of the oxidoreductase class; it denotes any enzyme catalyzing the incorporation of one atom from molecular oxygen into a compound while reducing the other atom of oxygen to water; this includes those in which the oxygen acceptor acts also as the hydrogen donor [EC 1.13.12] as well as those in which a second compound acts as the hydrogen donor in a coupled reaction [EC 1.14.13 to 1.14.18 and 1.14.99]. Called also mixed function oxidase.
