Structural highlights
FunctionGLYOX_GEOKA Catalyzes the FAD-dependent oxidative deamination of various amines and D-amino acids to yield the corresponding alpha-keto acids, ammonia/amine, and hydrogen peroxide. Oxidizes glycine, sarcosine (N-methylglycine), N-ethylglycine, D-proline, D-alanine, glycine-ethyl ester, and some other D-amino acids. Does not act on L-proline (PubMed:17894345). Is essential for thiamine biosynthesis since the oxidation of glycine catalyzed by ThiO generates the glycine imine intermediate (dehydroglycine) required for the biosynthesis of the thiazole ring of thiamine pyrophosphate (By similarity).[UniProtKB:O31616][1] References
