ID 1.5.3.26 DE fructosyl amine oxidase (fructosamine-forming). CA an N-(1-deoxy-beta-D-fructopyranos-1-yl)amine + H2O + O2 = (1-deoxy-D- CA fructos-1-yl)amine + an aldehyde + H2O2. CC -!- Reducing sugars such as glucose react with amino groups in proteins CC via the spontaeous Maillard reaction, forming an unstable product CC that undergoes spontaneous rearrangement to a keto amine compound. CC -!- These reactions are known as glycation reactions, and the stable CC products are known as Amadori products. CC -!- This enzyme, characterized from a Pseudomonas sp. strain, cleaves the CC Amadori products at the alkylamine bond. CC -!- All other known fructosyl amine oxidases cleave the ketoamine bond CC (cf. EC 1.5.3.25). //
