(Z)-3-hexen-1-ol acetyltransferase explained

(Z)-3-hexen-1-ol acetyltransferase
Ec Number:	2.3.1.195

(Z)-3-hexen-1-ol acetyltransferase (CHAT, At3g03480) is an enzyme with systematic name acetyl-CoA:(3Z)-hex-3-en-1-ol acetyltransferase.^{[1] [2]} This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

acetyl-CoA + (3Z)-hex-3-en-1-ol

\rightleftharpoons CoA + (3Z)-hex-3-en-1-yl acetate

The enzyme is responsible for the production of (3Z)-hex-3-en-1-yl acetate.
