D-glutamate oxidase

In enzymology, D-glutamate oxidase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

The three substrates of this enzyme are D-glutamic acid, water, and oxygen. Its products are α-ketoglutaric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and ammonia.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH<sub>2</sub> group of donors with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-glutamate:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating). Other names in common use include D-glutamic oxidase, and D-glutamic acid oxidase. This enzyme participates in d-glutamine and d-glutamate metabolism.
