EC Tree 1 Oxidoreductases
1.1 Acting on the CH-OH group of donors
1.1.3 With oxygen as acceptor
1.1.3.40 D-mannitol oxidase
IUBMB Comments
Also catalyses the oxidation of D-arabinitol and, to a lesser extent, D-glucitol (sorbitol), whereas L-arabinitol is not a good substrate. The enzyme from the snails Helix aspersa and Arion ater is found in a specialised tubular organelle that has been termed the mannosome.
The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms
