In enzymology a putrescine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.10) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionputrescine + O2 + H2O 4-aminobutanal + NH3 + H2O2The 3 substrates of this enzyme are putrescine O2 and H2O whereas its 3 products are 4-aminobutanal NH3 and H2O2.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is putrescine:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating).
