General description
Galactose oxidase is a member of radicalcoupled copper oxidases family. It is a fungal secretory enzyme.
Galactose oxidase is an extracellular copper-containing enzyme, secreted by the deuteromycete fungus Dactylium dendroides. It catalyzes the oxidation of a range of primary alcohols, including D-galactose, to the corresponding aldehyde, with reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide.
Application
Galactose Oxidase from Dactylium dendroides has been used as a component for galactose oxidase treatment of arabinogalactan. It has also been used to co-immobilise with peroxidase for the preparation of a biosensor for galactose detection.
Galactose oxidase may be used as an analytical tool for the specific determination of D-galactose in blood plasma, plant extracts, and phospholipids. It could be used for the characterization of terminal D-galactoside units in several polymers. It may also be useful in the determination of lactose.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Galactose oxidase has several applications in bioanalytics and histology. This free radical enzyme possess high substrate specificity.
Galactose oxidase catalyzes the coversion of D-galactose to D-galacto-hexodialdose.
2-Deoxy-D-galactose, lactose, melibiose, raffinose and stachyose react with galactose oxidase in the peroxidase:o-tolidine system.
Essentially no oxidation of D-glucose, L-galactose, L-arabinose or D-glucuronate has been observed.

Essentially no oxidation of D-glucose, L-galactose, L-arabinose or D-glucuronate has been observed.
The specificity for galactose and other sugars is similar to that described by Avigad.

Galactose oxidase (GOase) was shown to oxidise several C2/C3 fluorinated galactose analogues. Interestingly, the enzyme was able to distinguish between the 2,3-tetrafluorinated galactose and its epimeric glucose analogue, and this represents the first reported biotransformation of a heavily fluorinated sugar.
