Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen;
Miscellaneous
Sysname
Latia-luciferin,hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (demethylating)
Reaction(IUBMB)
Latia luciferin + reduced acceptor + 2 O2 = oxidized Latia luciferin + CO2 + formate + acceptor + H2O + hnu [RN:R03907]
Reaction(KEGG)
R03907
Substrate
Latia luciferin [CPD:C02293];
reduced acceptor [CPD:C00030];
O2 [CPD:C00007]
Product
oxidized Latia luciferin [CPD:C03527];
CO2 [CPD:C00011];
formate [CPD:C00058];
acceptor [CPD:C00028];
H2O [CPD:C00001];

Comment
A flavoprotein. Latia is a bioluminescent mollusc. The reaction possibly involves two enzymes, an oxygenase followed by a monooxygenase for the actual light-emitting step.
