UniProtKB accession:  O69762

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the hydration of the acyl-CoA thioester of ferulic acid and the subsequent retro-aldol cleavage of the hydrated intermediate to yield vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde) (PubMed:9461612, PubMed:10222033). The enzyme is also active with caffeoyl-CoA and 4-coumaroyl-CoA producing 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, respectively (PubMed:10222033).
