2.3.1.195 |
Accepted name: |
(Z)-3-hexen-1-ol acetyltransferase |
Reaction: |
acetyl-CoA + (3Z)-hex-3-en-1-ol = CoA + (3Z)-hex-3-en-1-yl acetate |
Other name(s): |
CHAT; At3g03480 |
Systematic name: |
acetyl-CoA:(3Z)-hex-3-en-1-ol acetyltransferase |
Comments: |
The enzyme is resonsible for the production of (3Z)-hex-3-en-1-yl acetate, the major volatile compound released upon mechanical wounding of the leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana [1]. |
