In enzymology a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate oxidase (EC 1.2.3.13) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate + 1/2 O2 4-hydroxyphenylacetate + CO2Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate and O2 whereas its two products are 4-hydroxyphenylacetate and CO2.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with oxygen as acceptor.
