N-(1-deoxy-D-fructos-1-yl)amine:oxygen oxidoreductase (fructosamine-forming)
Reducing sugars such as glucose react with amino groups in proteins via the spontaeous Maillard reaction, forming an unstable product that undergoes spontaneous rearrangement to a keto amine compound. These reactions are known as glycation reactions, and the stable products are known as Amadori products. This enzyme, characterized from a Pseudomonas sp. strain, cleaves the Amadori products at the alkylamine bond. All other known fructosyl amine oxidases cleave the ketoamine bond (cf. EC 1.5.3.25, fructosyl amine oxidase (glucosone-forming)).
