Type: | Family | Name: | Alpha-hydroxy acid dehydrogenase, FMN-dependent |
Description: | This group represents an alpha-hydroxy acid dehydrogenase, which is FMN-dependent. Human glycolate oxidase (GO) catalyses the FMN-dependent oxidation of glycolate to glyoxylate and glyoxylate to oxalate. The latter is a key metabolite in kidney stone formation. 4-carboxy-5-dodecylsulphanyl-1,2,3-triazole (CDST) is an inhibiter of this enzyme. In contrast to most alpha-hydroxy acid oxidases, including spinach glycolate oxidase, a loop region, known as loop 4, is completely visible when the GO active site contains a small ligand. Since this is an unique structural feature, it has the potential to be a target for drugs to decrease glycolate and glyoxylate levels in primary hyperoxaluria type 1 patients who have the inability to convert peroxisomal glyoxylate to glycine []. In addition, L-Lactate oxidase (LOX) belongs to a family of flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-dependent alpha-hydroxy acid-oxidizing enzymes []. | Short Name: | Alpha-hydoxy_acid_DH_FMN |
