DESCRIPTION

Also known as OXLA_RHOOP, OXLA. Catalyzes an oxidative deamination of basic, hydrophobic and aromatic L-amino acids, thus producing hydrogen peroxide that may contribute to the diverse toxic effects of this enzyme (Ref.1). Is active on most L-amino acid (39 on 43 tested) with the exception of L-Thr, L-Pro, and L-Gly (Ref.1). Homodimer; non-covalently linked.
