General description
Application
Ascorbate Oxidase from Cucurbita sp. has been used:
- as a supplement in the culture medium for differentiation into osteoblasts[3]
- to oxidize ascorbic acid producing monodehydroascorbate in monodehydroascorbate reductase assay[4]
- in determining ascorbate (AsA) and dehydroascorbate (DHA) concentrations[5]
Ascorbate oxidase, from Cucurbita sp., may be used to study oxidative stress and heat stress response and tolerance. Ascorbate oxidase, from Sigma, has been used in ascorbic acid assays to study the heat stress response of Arabidopsis [6].
Biochem/physiol Actions
Ascorbate oxidase (AO) participates in cell growth by regulating reduction/oxidation (redox) of the apoplast. This enzyme can synthesize the oxidative molecule dehydroascorbate acid (DHA) in the apoplast. It is also involved in cell elongation and enlargement development.[5]
Ascorbate oxidase converts ascorbic acid to dehydroascorbic acid. It is highly specific for L-ascorbic acid and a few analogs. Ascorbate oxidase exists as a dimer and has a molecular weight of approximately 140 kDa.
Unit Definition
One unit will oxidize 1.0 μmole of L-ascorbate to dehydroascorbate per min at pH 5.6 at 25 °C.
Physical form
Lyophilized powder containing buffers and sucrose as stabilizer.
