Extracellular L-amino-acid oxidase (IL4I1) catalyzes the reaction of phenylalanine, water, and molecular oxygen to form keto-phenylpyruvate, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide. IL4I1, inferred to form a complex with FAD, has L-amino acid oxidase activity and with a strong preference for phenylalanine. The enzyme, found both in lysosomes and secreted into the extracellular space, is produced in the body by myeloid and dedritic cells (Boulland et al. 2007).
