 Lactate 2-monooxygenase

In enzymology, a lactate 2-monooxygenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (S)-lactate and O2, whereas its 3 products are acetate, CO2, and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on single donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation of two atoms of oxygen into the substrate (oxygenases).
