Omega-hydroxypalmitate O-feruloyl transferase
Ec Number:	2.3.1.188

Omega-hydroxypalmitate O-feruloyl transferase (hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA omega-hydroxypalmitic acid O-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase, HHT) is an enzyme with systematic name feruloyl-CoA:16-hydroxypalmitate feruloyltransferase.^{[1] [2] [3]} This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

\rightleftharpoons CoA + 16-feruloyloxypalmitate

p-Coumaroyl-CoA and sinapoyl-CoA also act as substrates.
