Aryl-aldehyde oxidase

an aromatic aldehyde + O₂ + H₂O $rightleftharpoons$ an aromatic carboxylic acid + H₂O₂

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are aromatic aldehyde, O₂, and H₂O, whereas its two products are aromatic carboxylic acid and H₂O₂.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is aryl-aldehyde:oxygen oxidoreductase.
