Aldehyde Oxidase (AO)

Aldehyde Oxidase; AO

Aldehyde Oxidase is a soluble cytoplasmic molybdenum-containing enzyme that is mainly involved in the biotransformation of various drugs and xenobiotics. Aldehyde Oxidase has four isoforms (AOX1, AOX3, AOX3L1, and AOX4). Aldehyde Oxidase is mainly expressed by the liver, but is distributed widely in the lungs, kidneys, brain, and skin. Aldehyde Oxidase catalyzes oxidation and reduction reactions, among which the oxidation of aldehydes, nitro/nitroso compounds or N-heterocycles are more common. Aldehyde Oxidase affects drug metabolism, impacts drug interactions, and generates potential toxic metabolites. Aldehyde Oxidase could lead to liver damage (such as NAFLD), renal toxicity and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)[1][2].
