Description
In enzymology, a glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase (EC 1.1.3.21) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:sn-glycerol 3-phosphate + O2? glycerone phosphate + H2O2. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are sn-glycerol 3-phosphate and O2, whereas its two products are glycerone phosphate and H2O2. This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. This enzyme participates in glycerophospholipid metabolism. It employs one cofactor, FAD.

Unit Definition
One unit will oxidize 1.0 μmole of L-glycerol 3-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate with the formation of H2O2 per min at pH 7.0 at 37°C.
Applications
GPO has been used for sensitive metabolite assays of starch and lipid synthesis, pyrophosphate, ATP, ADP, and most glycolytic intermediates in Arabidopsis seeds. GPO is part of the dihydroxyacetone phosphate:glycerol-3-phosphate cycle in the bloodstream form of Trypanosoma brucei.
