NCBI Protein Information
4-coumarate:CoA ligase 1
NCBI Summary
encodes an isoform of 4-coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL), which is involved in the last step of the general phenylpropanoid pathway. In addition to 4-coumarate, it also converts ferulate. The catalytic efficiency was in the following (descending) order: p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid and 5-OH-ferulic acid. At4CL1 was unable to use sinapic acid as substrate.

UniProt Comments
Produces CoA thioesters of a variety of hydroxy- and methoxy-substituted cinnamic acids, which are used to synthesize several phenylpropanoid-derived compounds, including anthocyanins, flavonoids, isoflavonoids, coumarins, lignin, suberin and wall-bound phenolics.
