| Accepted name: |
putrescine N-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
caffeoyl-CoA + putrescine = CoA + N-caffeoylputrescine |
| Glossary: |
putrescine = butane-1,4-diamine |
| Other name(s): |
caffeoyl-CoA putrescine N-caffeoyl transferase; PHT; putrescine hydroxycinnamoyl transferase; hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA:putrescine hydroxycinnamoyltransferase; putrescine hydroxycinnamoyltransferase |
| Systematic name: |
caffeoyl-CoA:putrescine N-(3,4-dihydroxycinnamoyl)transferase |
| Comments: |
Feruloyl-CoA, cinnamoyl-CoA and sinapoyl-CoA can also act as donors, but more slowly. |
