Parent Class:

EC-Numbers → 2 -- Transferases → 2.3 -- Acyltransferases → 2.3.1 -- Transferring groups other than amino-acyl groups

Synonyms: CHAT, At3g03480

Systematic Name: acetyl-CoA:(3Z)-hex-3-en-1-ol acetyltransferase

Unification Links: BRENDA:2.3.1.195, ENZYME:2.3.1.195, IUBMB-ExplorEnz:2.3.1.195

Reaction:
acetyl-CoA + (3Z)-hex-3-en-1-ol → (3Z)-hex-3-en-1-yl acetate + coenzyme A

Enzymes and Genes:
acetyl CoA:(Z)-3-hexen-1-ol acetyltransferase: AT3G03480 ( Arabidopsis thaliana col )

Summary:
The enzyme is resonsible for the production of (3Z)-hex-3-en-1-yl acetate, the major volatile compound released upon mechanical wounding of the leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana [DAuria07].
