Glucose oxidase (GOx) is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of D-glucose to D-glucono-δ-lactone and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of molecular oxygen. It is mainly produced by fungi and insects, with the fungus Aspergillus niger being a primary industrial source. Exists as a dimer in its active form, with each monomer having a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) prosthetic group responsible for the redox reaction. GOx structures from A. niger and P. amagasakiense have been crystallized and analyzed at resolutions ranging from 1.2–2.4 Å. Despite being a dimer in solution, each structure reveals monomers arranged symmetrically in the crystal lattice. Orchid Chemical Supplies Ltd was established in 2009.After more than 15 years of business accumulation, we have established good business relationships with over 25500 major factories in China, can quickly and efficiently connect with high-quality and reliable manufacturers. We distrubitor hydroxylamine hydrochloride and hydroxylamine sulfate.

Uses:

Medical Diagnostics:

Glucose Monitoring: GOx is used in biosensors and glucose test strips to measure blood glucose levels in diabetes management.
Diagnostic Assays: Common in determining glucose concentrations in physiological fluids like blood and urine.
Food Industry:

Bread Quality Improvement: Enhances the texture and quality of gluten-free sorghum and corn bread.
Wine Production: Removes excess glucose from grape juice, controlling alcohol levels during fermentation.
Acrylamide Reduction: Reduces the formation of acrylamide by lowering the concentration of glucose in food products.
