What is the molecular weight (mw) of D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO)?

Posted June 19, 2018


Answer

74 kDa

 

D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) is an oxidoreductase that oxidatively deaminates D-amino acids to the corresponding alpha-keto acid. DAAO exists as a dimer, with a molecular weight of 74,000 daltons, which is equivalent of 74,000 g/mol. It has a monomeric molecular weight of 37,000 daltons.
