Piperidine N-piperoyltransferase

In enzymology, a piperidine N-piperoyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * (E,E)-piperoyl-CoA + piperidine $$\rightleftharpoons$$ CoA + N-[(E,E)-piperoyl]-piperidine

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (E,E)-piperoyl-CoA and piperidine, whereas its two products are CoA and N-[(E,E)-piperoyl]-piperidine.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (E,E)-piperoyl-CoA:piperidine N-piperoyltransferase. Other names in common use include piperidine piperoyltransferase, and piperoyl-CoA:piperidine N-piperoyltransferase.
