Biosynthesis and significance

It is generated in nature from phenylalanine, which is converted by PAL to trans-cinnamate. Trans-cinnamate is hydroxylated by trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase to give 4-hydroxycinnamate (i.e, coumarate). Coumarate is condensed with coenzyme-A in the presence of 4-coumarate-CoA ligase:

ATP + 4-coumarate + CoA AMP + diphosphate + 4-coumaroyl-CoA.

Coumaroyl-coenzyme A is a central intermediate in the biosynthesis of myriad natural products found in plants. These products include lignols (precursors to lignin and lignocellulose), flavonoids, isoflavonoids, coumarins, aurones, stilbenes, catechin, and other phenylpropanoids.[1]

Enzymes using Coumaroyl-Coenzyme A

gollark: My font is now the IBM 3270 one, because font configuration on Linux is evil.
gollark: _ponders the necessity of folders other than `~/Programming` and `~/.factorio`_
gollark: Plus the important stuff, like factorio saves.
gollark: I want to copy my `~/Programming` folder off the disk before formatting it, obviously.
gollark: I mean, yes, most things are probably better than on this live CD, given that I'm copying 20GB of files onto an external disk while the OS runs from RAM, but you know.
