UniProtKB description:  Involved in the degradation of L-nicotine (PubMed:5849820). Catalyzes the oxidation of (S)-6-hydroxynicotine (6-hydroxy-L-nicotine) to 6-hydroxypseudooxynicotine (PubMed:21383134, PubMed:26744768, PubMed:28080034, PubMed:4965794, PubMed:5646150, PubMed:5849820). Oxidation of the pyrrolidine ring of (S)-6-hydroxynicotine leads to the formation of the optically inactive 6-hydroxy-N-methylmyosmine, which hydrolyzes spontaneously to 6-hydroxypseudooxynicotine (PubMed:21383134, PubMed:26744768, PubMed:28080034, PubMed:4965794). Acts with absolute stereospecificity on the L-form of 6-hydroxynicotine (PubMed:4965794). Can also use (S)-6-hydroxynornicotine (PubMed:26744768, PubMed:28080034).
