Type: | Family | Name: | Pyruvate oxidase |
Description: | Members of this family are examples of pyruvate oxidase (), an enzyme with FAD and TPP as cofactors that catalyses the reaction pyruvate + phosphate + O2 + H2O = acetyl phosphate + CO2 + H2O2. It should not be confused with pyruvate dehydrogenase () as in Escherichia coliPoxB, although the E. coli enzyme is closely homologous and has pyruvate oxidase as an alternate name. | Short Name: | Pyruvate_oxidase |
