D-Amino acid oxidase (Cat No.:I042262) is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of D-amino acids, converting them into corresponding keto acids while producing ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. It plays a critical role in regulating the levels of D-amino acids in the body, which are involved in various metabolic processes, including neurotransmitter regulation. DAAO is particularly significant in the brain, where it helps modulate neurotransmitter systems like glutamate. Due to its involvement in neurological functions, DAAO is a target for research into treatments for psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease.
