Glucose oxidase

UniProtKB accession:  P13006

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Glucose oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of beta-D-glucose to D-glucono-delta-lactone and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of molecular oxygen. D-glucono-delta-lactone is sequentially hydrolyzed by lactonase to D-gluconic acid, and the resulting hydrogen peroxide is hydrolyzed by catalase to oxygen and water (PubMed:14188176, PubMed:14257628, PubMed:14299649, PubMed:15450808, PubMed:2076553, PubMed:2406261, PubMed:24283586, PubMed:28631058, PubMed:28939970, PubMed:34500289, PubMed:7826581, Ref.4, Ref.5). The activity shows high specificity to beta-D-glucose, with very low to no activity towards L-glucose, 2-deoxy-D-glucose, 3-deoxy-D-glucose, 4-deoxy-D-glucose, 5-deoxy-D-glucose, 6-deoxy-D-glucose, 3-O-methyl-D-glucose, 4-O-methyl-D-glucose, 6-O-methyl-D-glucose, 4,6-O-benzylidene-D-glucose, 5-thio-5-deoxy-D-glucose, D-mannose, D-allose, D-galactose, D-fructose, D-arabinose, D-xylose, trehalose, melibiose, L-mannomethylose, lactose, sucrose or 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol (PubMed:14188176, PubMed:14257628, PubMed:24283586, Ref.5).
