Glucose oxidase CAS 9001-37-0

What is Glucose oxidase CAS 9001-37-0?

Glucose oxidase CAS 9001-37-0, also known as GOx or GOD (EC 1.1.3.4), is an oxidoreductase enzyme commonly produced by microorganisms such as Aspergillus niger and certain insects. It catalyzes the oxidation of β-D-glucose to glucono-δ-lactone while simultaneously generating hydrogen peroxide. Due to this biochemical activity, glucose oxidase is widely used in analytical detection systems, food preservation processes, and various biotechnological applications.
