 L-ascorbate peroxidase

In enzymology, a L-ascorbate peroxidase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-ascorbate and H2O2, whereas its two products are dehydroascorbate and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on a peroxide as acceptor (peroxidases).
