EC | 4.1.1.102 | ||||||
Accepted name: | phenacrylate decarboxylase | ||||||
Reaction: | (1) 4-coumarate = 4-vinylphenol + CO2 (2) trans-cinnamate = styrene + CO2 (3) ferulate = 4-vinylguaiacol + CO2 |
||||||
Glossary: | 4-coumarate = 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoate trans-cinnamate = (2E)-3-phenylprop-2-enoate ferulate = 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamate |
||||||
Other name(s): | FDC1 (gene name); ferulic acid decarboxylase | ||||||
Systematic name: | 3-phenylprop-2-enoate carboxy-lyase | ||||||
Comments: | The enzyme, found in fungi, catalyses the decarboxylation of phenacrylic acids present in plant cell walls. It requires a prenylated flavin cofactor that is produced by EC 2.5.1.129, flavin prenyltransferase. | ||||||
