Biology:Eugenol synthase

From HandWiki

Eugenol synthase (EC 1.1.1.318, LtCES1, EGS1, EGS2) is an enzyme with systematic name eugenol:NADP+ oxidoreductase (coniferyl ester reducing).[1][2][3][4][5][6] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction: eugenol + a carboxylate + NADP+ [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] a coniferyl ester + NADPH + H+

The enzyme acts in the reverse direction.
