Add article description


L-saccharopine oxidase (EC 1.5.3.18, FAP2) is an enzyme with systematic name L-saccharopine:oxygen oxidoreductase (L-glutamate forming).[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

N6-(L-1,3-dicarboxypropyl)-L-lysine + H2O + O2 (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate + L-glutamate + H2O2

The enzyme is involved in pipecolic acid biosynthesis.
