Alcohol Oxidase (AOX) is a homo-octamer composed of eight flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) cofactors and belongs to the glucose-methanol-choline (GMC) family of oxidoreductases. The AOX1 and AOX2 genes are responsible for encoding AOX. Alcohol oxidase is primarily localized in the peroxisome but is also found in the cytoplasm. Alcohol oxidase is a 600 kDa homooctomeric flavoprotein with eight equal 74 kDa subunits; each containing a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) molecule.

애플리케이션
Alcohol oxidase has been used:
- to catalyze the oxidation of short-chain, primary, aliphatic alcohols to their respective aldehydes .
- to study methanol metabolism in yeasts, such as Candida, Pichia, and Hansenula.
- to study protein translocation into peroxisomes.
- for the determination of ethanol concentration in alcoholic drinks using enzymatic assay.
- in development of enzyme electrode for the determination of alcohols.
생화학적/생리학적 작용
Alcohol oxidase has the highest affinity for methanol. The affinity decreases with increasing chain length of the alkyl (R) group. The enzyme shows little activity toward secondary, tertiary, or aromatic alcohols; or aliphatic alcohols with a chain length of more than 5 carbons. The pH range for activity of this product is 6.5-8.5, with the optimum pH being 7.5. Alcohol oxidases facilitate the conversion of alcohol into carbonyl compounds while producing hydrogen peroxide. It is also the first enzyme in the yeast methanol utilization pathway.

This method for the specific determination of methanol in serum is based on the following two reactions: (formula; see text) Alcohol oxidase is not specific: it converts all lower alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes; however, formaldehyde dehydrogenase is specific and

We identified a gene, designated TRM2, responsible for methanol-inducible gene expression in the methylotrophic yeast Candida boidinii. The encoded protein Trm2p contains two C(2)H(2)-type zinc finger motifs near the N terminus and shows high similarity to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Adr1p and
