| Accepted name: |
alcohol O-cinnamoyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
1-O-trans-cinnamoyl-β-D-glucopyranose + ROH = alkyl cinnamate + glucose |
| Systematic name: |
1-O-trans-cinnamoyl-β-D-glucopyranose:alcohol O-cinnamoyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Acceptor alcohols (ROH) include methanol, ethanol and propanol. No cofactors are required as 1-O-trans-cinnamoyl-β-D-glucopyranose itself is an "energy-rich" (activated) acyl-donor, comparable to CoA-thioesters. 1-O-trans-Cinnamoyl-β-D-gentobiose can also act as the acyl donor, but with much less affinity. |
