In enzymology an ecdysone oxidase (EC 1.1.3.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionecdysone + O2 3-dehydroecdysone + H2O2Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are ecdysone and O2 whereas its two products are 3-dehydroecdysone and H2O2.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ecdysone:oxygen 3-oxidoreductase.
