Ecdysone oxidase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, an ecdysone oxidase (EC 1.1.3.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

ecdysone + O₂ 3-dehydroecdysone + H₂O₂

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ecdysone and O₂, whereas its two products are 3-dehydroecdysone and H₂O₂.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ecdysone:oxygen 3-oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called beta-ecdysone oxidase.
