What Does AAO Stand For?
AAO stands for Amino Acid Oxidase
Amino Acid Oxidase (AAO) is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of amino acids, resulting in the conversion of amino acids into corresponding keto acids, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide. This enzyme plays a crucial role in amino acid metabolism and is involved in various biological processes, including energy production and neurotransmitter regulation. AAO is also utilized in clinical settings for diagnostic purposes and in biotechnological applications for the development of biosensors and biocatalysts.
