A pyruvate oxidase is basically an enzyme that speeds up a chemical reaction.
The by products of this reaction are carbon dioxide , hydrogen peroxide and etc.
In enzymology, a pyruvate oxidase (CoA-acetylating) (EC 1.2.3.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- pyruvate + CoA + O2 [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] acetyl-CoA + CO2 + H2O2
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are pyruvate, CoA, and O2, whereas its 3 products are acetyl-CoA, CO2, and H2O2.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases , specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is pyruvate:oxygen 2 - oxidoreductase (CoA-acetylating). This enzyme participates in pyruvate metabolism. It employs one cofactor, FAD.
