Everything about Ascorbate Peroxidase totally explained
Ascorbate peroxidases (or
APX) are enzymes that detoxify
peroxides such as
hydrogen peroxide using
ascorbate as a substrate. The reaction they catalyse is the transfer of electrons from ascorbate to a peroxide, producing dehydroascorbate and water as products.
Ascorbate + Hydrogen peroxide → Dehydroascorbate + Water
