Glucarate O-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase explained

glucarate O-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase
Ec Number:	2.3.1.131
Cas Number:	112956-51-1
Go Code:	0047170

In enzymology, a glucarate O-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

sinapoyl-CoA + glucarate

\rightleftharpoons CoA + O-sinapoylglucarate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are sinapoyl-CoA and glucarate, whereas its two products are CoA and O-sinapoylglucarate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is sinapoyl-CoA:glucarate O-(hydroxycinnamoyl)transferase.
