:

Ascorbate oxidase

Description:
Ascorbate oxidase, with the CAS number 9029-44-1, is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the oxidation of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to dehydroascorbic acid. This enzyme is primarily found in plants, fungi, and some bacteria, where it participates in various metabolic processes, including the regulation of oxidative stress and the maintenance of cellular redox balance. Ascorbate oxidase is a copper-containing enzyme, which means it requires copper ions for its catalytic activity. The enzyme exhibits a characteristic blue color due to the presence of copper, and it typically functions as a homodimer. Its activity is influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of inhibitors or activators. Ascorbate oxidase is of interest in various fields, including food science, agriculture, and biotechnology, due to its potential applications in preserving the nutritional quality of food and in developing antioxidant strategies.
