Ascorbate oxidase

Names

[ Name ]:
Ascorbate oxidase

[Synonym ]:
MFCD00130560

Biological Activity

[Description]:

Ascorbate oxidase, also known as vitamin C oxidase, is a REDOX enzyme involved in the regulation of extracellular matrix. Ascorbate oxidase catalyzes the reaction of ascorbic acid and oxygen to produce dehydroascorbic acid[1][2].
