| Cat# | BDE-054 |
| Description | Fructosyl amino acid oxidase (FAOD) is an FAD-dependent oxidoreductase that specifically oxidizes fructosyl amino acids to produce hydrogen peroxide, glucuronolactone, and the corresponding amino acid. It is widely used in HbA1c assays, where HbA1c reflects long-term glycemic control and serves as the gold standard for diabetes management. |
| Applications | Used in glycated albumin and glycated amino acid detection kits to support enzymatic monitoring for diabetes management. |
