D-aspartate oxidase is an enzyme that is encoded by the DDO gene.[1][2]

The protein encoded by this gene is a peroxisomal flavoprotein that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of D-aspartate and N-methyl D-aspartate. Flavin adenine dinucleotide or 6-hydroxyflavin adenine dinucleotide can serve as the cofactor in this reaction. Two (or four, according to Q99489) transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[2]
