+ NH3
 

The three substrates of this enzyme are ethanolamine, water, and oxygen. Its products are glycolaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, and ammonia.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ethanolamine:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating). It has cobamide as a cofactor.[1]
