In enzymology, a dihydrouracil oxidase (EC 1.3.3.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme are dihydrouracil and oxygen. Its products are uracil and hydrogen peroxide.[1][2]
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5,6-dihydrouracil:oxygen oxidoreductase. It uses the cofactor, flavin mononucleotide.[2]
