In enzymology, hexose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:[1]

 
O2
H2O2
Reversible left-right reaction arrow with minor forward substrate(s) from top left, minor forward product(s) to top right, minor reverse substrate(s) from bottom right and minor reverse product(s) to bottom left

H2O2
 

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases (enzymes involved in redox reactions), specifically those acting on the CH−OH group of donors with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-hexose:oxygen 1-oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in pentose phosphate pathway. It employs one cofactor, copper.[2][3][4]
