• Description: Alcohol oxidase (AOX, EC 1.1.3.13) is a flavoenzyme, an oxidoreductase that catalyzes the oxidation of alcohol to the corresponding carbonyl compound and simultaneously releases hydrogen peroxide.Alcohol oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of short-chain, primary, aliphatic alcohols to the respective aldehydes.RCH2OH + O2 -->RCHO + H2O2The enzyme has the highest affinity for methanol with the affinity decreasing with increasing chain length of the alkyl (R) group.Alcohol oxidase plays a major role in the metabolism of methanol resulting in the formation of formaldehyde and has been detected in several genera of yeasts, such as Candida, Pichia, and Hansenula, that utilize methanol as a sole carbon and energy source.Primarily localized in the peroxisome, alcohol oxidase has also been found in the cytoplasm. Monomers are synthesized in the cytosol and assembled into octomers in the peroxisome. Octomerization is thought to be chaparone mediated. Alcohol oxidase is of interest for the study of protein translocation into peroxisomes.
• Uses: Alcohol Oxidase may be used to study protein translocation into peroxisomes. Product A2404 is from Pichia pastoris. It has been used for the bacterial expression and immunological verification of Hv-p68 cDNA clones . Alcohol oxidase is used to catalyze the oxidation of short-chain, primary, aliphatic alcohols to their respective aldehydes . It may be used to study methanol metabolism is yeasts, such as Candida, Pichia, and Hansenula. It is useful to study protein translocation into peroxisomes. Product A6941 is from Candida boidinii and is provided as a lyophilized powder.
