EC 1.5.3.7

Accepted name: L-pipecolate oxidase

Reaction: L-pipecolate + O2 = (S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-2-carboxylate + H2O2

Glossary: L-1-piperideine 6-carboxylate = (S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-2-carboxylate = (S)-1,6-didehydropiperidine-2-carboxylate
(S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate = L-2-aminoadipate 6-semialdehyde = L-allysine

Other name(s): pipecolate oxidase; L-pipecolic acid oxidase

Systematic name: L-pipecolate:oxygen 1,6-oxidoreductase

Comments: The product reacts with water to form 2-aminoadipate 6-semialdehyde, i.e. 2-amino-6-oxohexanoate.
