Target intelligence / Profile preview
Fungal Peroxidase Enzyme (Fungal Peroxidase)
- Target
- Fungal Peroxidase
- Molecular classification
- Enzyme, Oxidoreductase, Heme protein
01
Overview
Fungal peroxidases are a diverse group of oxidoreductase enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of various substrates using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an electron acceptor. They play crucial roles in fungal physiology, particularly in lignin degradation and defense against oxidative stress. These enzymes are also used in various biotechnological applications such as bioremediation, pulp bleaching and synthetic chemistry.
- Other names
- Lignin peroxidase (LiP)Manganese peroxidase (MnP)Versatile peroxidase (VP)Class II peroxidase
