MeSH definition : An enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the conversion of beta-D-glucose
and oxygen to D-glucono-1,5-lactone and peroxide. It is a flavoprotein, highly specific
for beta-D-glucose. The enzyme is produced by Penicillium notatum and other fungi
and has antibacterial activity in the presence of glucose and oxygen. It is used to
estimate glucose concentration in blood or urine samples through the formation of
colored dyes by the hydrogen peroxide produced in the reaction. (From Enzyme Nomenclature,
1992) EC 1.1.3.4.;
MeSH synonym : microcid; oxidase, glucose;
MeSH CAS label : beta-D-Glucose:oxygen 1-oxidoreductase;
Registry Number MeSH : EC 1.1.3.4;
