Product Name

Sarcosine Oxidase from Bacillus sp.

General deion

Monomeric sarcosine oxidase (MSOX) is a flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidative demethylation of sarcosine (N-methylglycine) to yield glycine, formaldehyde, and hydrogen peroxide. Monomeric sarcosine oxidase can oxidize other secondary amino acids such as N-methyl-L-alanine, N-ethylglycine, and L-proline.
