Aromatic peroxidase that oxidizes aryl alcohols into the corresponding aldehydes and then into the corresponding benzoic acids. Oxidizes toluene and naphthalene. Catalyzes the regioselective peroxide-dependent hydroxylation of propranolol and diclofenac to 5-hydroxypropranolol and 4'-hydroxydiclofenac. Catalyzes the regioselective peroxide-dependent hydroxylation of naphthalene to 1-naphthol or 2-naphthol via a naphthalene 1,2-oxide intermediate. Catalyzes the regioselective peroxide-dependent oxidation of pyridine to pyridine N-oxide. Halogenates monochlorodimedone and phenol. Oxidizes the sulfur-containing heterocycle dibenzothiophene to yield ring-hydroxylation products and to a lesser extent sulfoxidation products. RH + H2O2 = ROH + H2O. Binds 1 heme b (iron(II)-protoporphyrin IX) group. Optimum pH is 4.7 with ABTS as substrate. Optimum pH is 7.2 with benzyl alcohol as substrate, and there is another optimum at pH 6.2. Optimum pH is 7.2 with dimethoxyphenol as substrate. Optimum pH is 6.0 with naphthalene as substrate. Optimum pH is 7.0 with pyridine as substrate. Optimum pH is 7.0 with veratryl alcohol as substrate, and there is another optimum at pH 5.5. Expressed at a low basal level while growing in a soybean-based medium until day 18 when expression rises significantly to peak at day 23. Expression decreases steadily after day 28 to return basal level by day 42. N-glycosylated. Belongs to the chloroperoxidase family.
