Functional Family Ferulic acid decarboxylase 1

Enzyme Information

4.1.1.102
Phenacrylate decarboxylase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q03034
(1) 4-coumarate = 4-vinylphenol + CO(2). (2) Trans-cinnamate = styrene + CO(2). (3) Ferulate = 4-vinylguaiacol + CO(2).
-!- The enzyme, found in fungi, catalyzes 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.
