Other name(s): lysine N6-hydroxylase; L-lysine 6-monooxygenase (NADPH) (ambiguous)
Systematic name: L-lysine,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (6-hydroxylating)
Comments: A flavoprotein (FAD). The enzyme from strain EN 222 of Escherichia coli is highly specific for L-lysine; L-ornithine and L-homolysine are, for example, not substrates.
