L-galactonolactone dehydrogenase

inquiry

Cat No.

EXWM-1370

Description

This enzyme catalyses the final step in the biosynthesis of L-ascorbic acid in higher plants and in nearly all higher animals with the exception of primates and some birds. The enzyme is very specific for its substrate L-galactono-1,4-lactone as D-galactono-γ-lactone, D-gulono-γ-lactone, L-gulono-γ-lactone, D-erythronic-γ-lactone, D-xylonic-γ-lactone, L-mannono-γ-lactone, D-galactonate, D-glucuronate and D-gluconate are not substrates. FAD, NAD+, NADP+ and O2 (cf. EC 1.3.3.12, L-galactonolactone oxidase) cannot act as electron acceptor.

Reaction

L-galactono-1,4-lactone + 4 ferricytochrome c = L-dehydroascorbate + 4 ferrocytochrome c + 4 H+ (overall reaction); (1a) L-galactono-1,4-lactone + 2 ferricytochrome c = L-ascorbate + 2 ferrocytochrome c + 2 H+; (1b) L-ascorbate + 2 ferricytochrome c = L-dehydroascorbate + 2 ferrocytochrome c + 2 H+ (spontaneous)
