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: Actually, the "Take me back to the simpler Pre-overhaul times" button appears to not exist.
gollark: Ah, never mind.
gollark: How do I get it to generate non-overhaul ones?
gollark: Wait, I can just use it as a desktop application, much easier.
gollark: I should probably tell it to not use enderium too.
