The function of ascorbate oxidase in Arabidopsis thaliana

The apoplastic enzyme, ascorbate oxidase (AO), is a blue copper oxidase that catalyses oxidation of ascorbate (AsA) to monodehydroascorbate (MDHA). In Arabidopsis thaliana, AO is encoded by three genes (At4g39830, At5g21105 and At5g21100) designated AO1, AO2, and AO3 respectively. Since AsA is the m...
