Descriptor English: Glucose Oxidase
Descriptor Spanish: Glucosa Oxidasa
Descriptor glucosa oxidasa
Scope note: Enzima de la clase de las oxidorreductasas, que cataliza la conversión de beta-D-glucosa y oxígeno a D-glucono-1,5-lactona y peróxido. Es una flavoproteína, altamente específica para la beta-D-glucosa. La enzima es producida por el Penicillium notatum y otros hongos y tiene actividad antibacteriana en presencia de glucosa y oxígeno. Se usa para la estimación de la concentración de glucosa en muestras de sangre u orina, mediante la formación de pigmentos coloreados por el peróxido de hidrógeno producido en la reacción. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 1.1.3.4.

Scope note: An enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the conversion of beta-D-glucose and oxygen to D-glucono-1,5-lactone and peroxide. It is a flavoprotein, highly specific for beta-D-glucose. The enzyme is produced by Penicillium notatum and other fungi and has antibacterial activity in the presence of glucose and oxygen. It is used to estimate glucose concentration in blood or urine samples through the formation of colored dyes by the hydrogen peroxide produced in the reaction. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 1.1.3.4.
