Description
In enzymology, a L-lysine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.14) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:L-lysine + O2 + H2O↔ 6-amino-2-oxohexanoate + NH3 + H2O2. The 3 substrates of this enzyme are L-lysine, O2, and H2O, whereas its 3 products are 6-amino-2-oxohexanoate, NH3, and H2O2. This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with oxygen as acceptor. This enzyme participates in lysine degradation.
