L-Amino acid oxidase

L-Amino acid oxidase (LAAO) is a flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of L-amino acids, yielding α-keto acids and hydrogen peroxide. This H2O2 generation underpins its utility in research on oxidative stress, antimicrobial mechanisms, and cell signaling, applicable in both in vitro biochemical assays and in vivo model studies.
