Enzyme Information

2.3.1.74
Chalcone synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9MBB1
3 malonyl-CoA + 4-coumaroyl-CoA = 4 CoA + naringenin chalcone + 3 CO(2).
-!- The enzyme catalyzes the first committed step in the biosynthesis of flavonoids. -!- It can also act on dihydro-4-coumaroyl-CoA, forming phloretin.
