Gene Name: D-amino-acid oxidase
Symbol:
Description: This gene encodes the peroxisomal enzyme D-amino acid oxidase. The enzyme is a flavoprotein which uses flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as its prosthetic group. Its substrates include a wide variety of D-amino acids, but it is inactive on the naturally occurring L-amino acids. Its biological function is not known; it has been suggested that it is involved in acid-base balance in the kidney, or it may be a fossil enzyme without a current function.
