Sarcosine oxidase - Misplaced Pages

Sarcosine oxidase is an enzyme (EC 1.5.3.1) that catalyzes the oxidative demethylation of sarcosine to yield glycine, H₂O₂, 5,10-CH₂-tetrahydrofolate in a reaction requiring H₄-tetrahydrofolate and oxygen. Corynebacterial sarcosine oxidase is a heterotetramer and is produced as an inducible enzyme when Corynebacterium sp.is grown with sarcosine as source of carbon and energy.
