(S)-6-hydroxynicotine oxidase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a (S)-6-hydroxynicotine oxidase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(S)-6-hydroxynicotine + HTemplate:SubO + OTemplate:Sub $\rightleftharpoons$ 1-(6-hydroxypyridin-3-yl)-4-(methylamino)butan-1-one + HTemplate:SubOTemplate:Sub

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are (S)-6-hydroxynicotine, [[water|HTemplate:SubO]], and [[oxygen|OTemplate:Sub]], whereas its two products are 1-(6-hydroxypyridin-3-yl)-4-(methylamino)butan-1-one and [[hydrogen peroxide|HTemplate:SubOTemplate:Sub]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donors with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (S)-6-hydroxynicotine:oxygen oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include L-6-hydroxynicotine oxidase, 6-hydroxy-L-nicotine oxidase, and 6-hydroxy-L-nicotine:oxygen oxidoreductase. It employs one cofactor, FAD.
