| Application: | Lactate Oxidase from Aerococcus viridans has been used as a: • supplement in the culture medium to convert extracellular lactate to pyruvate • coating on glass beads for electrochemical detection of lactate from a single cell by a push-pull nozzle system • coating on multi-branched gold nanoparticles (GNPs) for the simultaneous colorimetric detection of lactate in saliva by paper-based multiplexed device |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Lactate oxidase (LOX) catalyzes the oxidation of lactate to pyruvate and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an FMN co-factor. The enzyme aids in the determination of L-lactate indirectly by measuring the hydrogen peroxide formed in the reaction. |
| General description: | Lactate oxidase (LOX) is a flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-dependent enzyme and is a member of the α-hydroxy-acid oxidase flavoenzyme family. |
| Other Notes: | One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme which generates 1m mole of Hydrogen Peroxide per minute at 37°C under standard assay conditions. |
