Crystal Structure of Choline Oxidase in Complex with the Reaction Product Glycine Betaine
Function
[CHOX_ARTGO] Catalyzes the two-step oxidative conversion of choline to glycine-betaine with betaine aldehyde as an intermediate. Glycine-betaine accumulates to high levels in the cytoplasm of cells to prevent dehydration and plasmolysis in adverse hyperosmotic environments. Accepts either choline or the reaction intermediate betaine-aldehyde as substrate.[1]
