Product Description: Pyruvate oxidase, Aerococcus viridans (PoxB) is a thiamine pyrophosphate-dependent oxidase that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to produce acetyl phosphate, carbon dioxide, and water. Pyruvate oxidase, Aerococcus viridans is an important enzyme in bacterial metabolism and can enhance ATP production. Additionally, Pyruvate oxidase, Aerococcus viridans can be used for the determination of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase activities[1][2].
