L-saccharopine oxidase (EC 1.5.3.18, FAP2) is an enzyme with systematic name L-saccharopine:oxygen oxidoreductase (L-glutamate forming). 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.
