Acetylindoxyl oxidase

Acetylindoxyl oxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * N-acetylindoxyl + O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ N-acetylisatin + (?)

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-acetylindoxyl and oxygen, whereas its product is N-acetylisatin.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on other nitrogenous compounds as donors with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-acetylindoxyl:oxygen oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in tryptophan metabolism.
