Protein
Agmatine coumaroyltransferase
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Involved in the biosynthesis of hydroxycinnamic acid amides, which play a role in defense against pathogens. Agmatine is the preferred acyl acceptor, lower activity is observed towards putrescine. The preferred acyl donor is p-coumaroyl-CoA, lower activity is seen towards feruloyl-CoA.
Similarity
Belongs to the plant acyltransferase family.
