Structural highlights

Function

[OXLA_GLOBL] Catalyzes an oxidative deamination of predominantly hydrophobic and aromatic L-amino acids, thus producing hydrogen peroxide that may contribute to the diverse toxic effects of this enzyme. Exhibits diverse biological activities, such as apoptosis, and inhibition of agonist- and shear stress-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA). Effects of snake L-amino oxidases on platelets are controversial, since they either induce aggregation or inhibit agonist-induced aggregation. These different effects are probably due to different experimental conditions. This protein may also induce hemorrhage, hemolysis, edema, antibacterial and antiparasitic activities.^{[1] [2]}
