In enzymology, a prenylcysteine oxidase (EC 1.8.3.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction The 3 substrates of this enzyme are S-prenyl-L-cysteine, O2, and H2O, whereas its 3 products are prenal, L-cysteine, and H2O2.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on a sulfur group of donors with oxygen as acceptor.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is S-prenyl-L-cysteine:oxygen oxidoreductase.
This enzyme is also called prenylcysteine lyase.
