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.
