In enzymology a pteridine oxidase (EC 1.17.3.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction2-amino-4-hydroxypteridine + O2 2-amino-47-dihydroxypteridine + (?)Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are 2-amino-4-hydroxypteridine and O2 whereas its product is 2-amino-47-dihydroxypteridine.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on CH or CH2 groups with oxygen as acceptor.
