Glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase, microorganism, is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of glycerol-3-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, producing hydrogen peroxide. It is located in the mitochondria of microorganisms, where it participates in the glycerol-3-phosphate cycle, regulating cellular energy metabolism.
- Catalyzes the oxidation of glycerol-3-phosphate
- Produces hydrogen peroxide
- Regulates cellular energy metabolism
- Can be used with Lipoprotein Lipase and Glycerol Kinase to determine triglyceride levels
