In enzymology, ecdysone oxidase (EC 1.1.3.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

 
O2
H2O
Ecdysone oxidase
O2
H2O
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are ecdysone and oxygen. Its products are 3-dehydroecdysone and hydrogen peroxide. [1] [2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, acting on the CH-OH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ecdysone:oxygen 3-oxidoreductase. This enzyme might also be called beta-ecdysone oxidase.
