Acetylindoxyl oxidase (EC 1.7.3.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- N-acetylindoxyl + O2 [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] N-acetylisatin + (?)
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-acetylindoxyl and oxygen, whereas its product is N-acetylisatin.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on other nitrogenous compounds as donors with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-acetylindoxyl:oxygen oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in tryptophan metabolism.
