Hydroxyacid oxidase 1

Basic Info

Synonyms
2-Hydroxyacid oxidase 1, Glycolate oxidase, glycolate oxidase 1
+ [8]
Introduction
Broad substrate specificity (S)-2-hydroxy-acid oxidase that preferentially oxidizes glycolate (PubMed:10777549, PubMed:17669354, PubMed:18215067, PubMed:10978532). The glyoxylate produced by the oxidation of glycolate can then be utilized by alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase for the peroxisomal synthesis of glycine; this pathway appears to be an important step for the detoxification of glyoxylate which, if allowed to accumulate, may be metabolized to oxalate with formation of kidney stones (PubMed:10978532, PubMed:17669354). Can also catalyze the oxidation of glyoxylate, and long chain hydroxyacids such as 2-hydroxyhexadecanoate and 2-hydroxyoctanoate, albeit with much lower catalytic efficiency (PubMed:10777549, PubMed:17669354, PubMed:18215067). Active in vitro with the artificial electron acceptor 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCIP), but O2 is believed to be the physiological electron acceptor, leading to the production of H2O2 (PubMed:10777549, PubMed:17669354, PubMed:18215067, PubMed:10978532). Is not active on L-lactate and 2-hydroxybutanoate (PubMed:10777549).
