Alcohol oxidase has been detected in several strains of yeast,such as Candida, Pichia, and Hansenula,that utilize methanol as a sole carbon and energy source
One unit will oxidize 1.0 µmol of methanol to formaldehyde per minute at pH 7.5 at 25 °C.
Some of these enzymes have been isolated and partially characterized. Alcohol oxidase plays a major role in the metabolism of methanol resulting in the formation of formaldehyde. Primarily localized in the peroxisome, alcohol oxidase has also been found in the cytoplasm. Monomers are synthesized in the cytosol and assembled into octomers in the peroxisome. Octomerization is thought to be chaparone mediated. Alcohol oxidase is of interest for the study of protein translocation into peroxisomes. It catalyzes the oxidation of an alcohol to an aldehyde and hydrogen peroxide.
