Fructosyl Amine-Oxygen Oxidoreductase (FAOD) (EC 1.5.3.X)
Fructosyl Amine-Oxygen Oxidoreductase, or fructosyl amino
acid oxidase, is an amadoriase enzyme. It catalyzes the oxidative deglycation
of Amadori products (glycated low molecular weight amino acids) to yield
amino acids, glucosone and H2O2.
The enzyme is useful in devices engineered to detect fructosyl amino
acid such as assaying for glycated serum protein or glycated hemoglobin
HbA1c. Diazyme's FAOD is a recombinant enzyme from microorganisms,
chromatographically purified and suitable for determining fructosyl-L-amino
acids. Diazyme's FAOD has the following substrate specificities: Activity
toward fructosyl valines (120%); fructosyl glycines (100%); fructosyl
lysines (10%).
