D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) is a flavoenzyme, catalysing oxidative deamination of D-amino
acids to produce corresponding α-keto acids, ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. In our …

d-Amino-acid oxidase (DAO) catalyzes the oxidative deamination of d-amino acids. DAO is
present in a wide variety of organisms and has important roles. Here, we review the …

d-amino acid oxidase (DAO) is a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)–dependent oxidase
metabolizing neutral and polar d-amino acids. Unlike l-amino acids, the amounts of d-amino …

In the brain, d-amino acid oxidase (DAO/DAAO) mainly oxidizes d-serine, a co-agonist of the
N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. Thus, DAO can regulate the function of NMDA …

D-amino acid oxidase catalyzes the oxidative deamination of D-amino acids. In the brain,
the NMDA receptor coagonist D-serine has been proposed as its physiological substrate. In …

We all now know that homochirality is biologically highly relevant: a number of biomolecules
contain chiral centers and this determines the spatial architecture of biopolymers, the …

A sensitive assay for d-amino-acid oxidase (DAO) activity in mammalian tissues has been
established. d-Tryptophan (d-Trp) analogs were tested as substrates for DAO, and 5-fluoro-d …

It has been proposed that D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) plays an essential role in degrading
D-serine, an endogenous coagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors …

Abstract d-amino acids are now recognized to be widely present in organisms and play
essential roles in biological processes. Some d-amino acids are metabolized by d-amino …

Abstract d-Amino acid oxidase (DAO) is a flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of d-
amino acids. In the brain, gene expression of DAO is detected in astrocytes. Among the …
