'''Glycolate oxidase''' (GOX) catalyzes the conversion of (S)-2-hydroxy acid and molecular oxygen to 2-oxo acid and hydrogen peroxide. In higher plants, GOX catalyzes the oxidation of glycolate to glyoxylate. GOX is part of the glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism and uses FMN as a cofactor. GOX catalyzes the first step in the utilization of glycolate as the sole source of carbon<ref>PMID:22286136</ref>. | '''Glycolate oxidase''' (GOX) catalyzes the conversion of (S)-2-hydroxy acid and molecular oxygen to 2-oxo acid and hydrogen peroxide.
