1.4.3.25

Accepted name:

L-arginine oxidase

Reaction:

L-arginine + H₂O + O₂ = 5-guanidino-2-oxopentanoate + NH₃ + H₂O₂

Systematic name:

L-arginine:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating)

Comments:

Contains FAD. The enzyme from cyanobacteria can also act on other basic amino acids with lower activity. The enzyme from the bacterium Pseudomonas sp. TPU 7192 is highly specific.
