In enzymology, a hexose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

D-glucose + O₂ ⇌ glucono-δ-lactone + H₂O₂

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases (enzymes involved in redox reactions), specifically those acting on the CH−OH group of donors with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-hexose:oxygen 1-oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in pentose phosphate pathway. It employs one cofactor, copper.
