1.1.3.4 | beta-D-glucose + O2 |
GOx enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to gluconolactone via reduction of the FAD cofactor to FADH2. The reoxidation of FADH2 in the ping-pong mechanism is normally achieved using oxygen as the electron acceptor |

important role in lignin-degradation |
1.1.3.4 | more |
the enzyme is the predominant source of H2O2 in ligninolytic cultures, H2O2 plays a central role in lignin biodegradation, it is obligately required for the activity of ligninases, a family of lignin peroxidases that is important in the oxidative depolymerization of lignin |
1.1.3.4 | more |
the enzyme is rapidly cleared from blood stream after application to rats, enzyme-produced H2O2 has toxic effects of rat liver and causes inflammation, at nontoxic levels it causes increased glutathione oxidation and induction of heme oxygenase 1 in the liver, overview |
