Enzyme Information

2.3.1.217
Curcumin synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt C0SVZ6
Feruloyl-CoA + feruloylacetyl-CoA + H(2)O = 2 CoA + curcumin + CO(2).
-!- A polyketide synthase from the plant Curcuma longa (turmeric). -!- Three isoforms exist, CURS1, CURS2 and CURS3. -!- While CURS1 and CURS2 prefer feruloyl-CoA as a starter substrate, CURS3 can accept 4-coumaroyl-CoA equally well (see EC 2.3.1.219).
