In enzymology, an ecdysone oxidase (EC 1.1.3.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- ecdysone + O2 3-dehydroecdysone + H2O2
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ecdysone and O2, whereas its two products are and H2O2.
This enzyme may or may not belong to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ecdysone:oxygen 3-oxidoreductase. This enzyme might also be called beta-ecdysone oxidase.
