Galactarate O hydroxycinnamoyltransferase

In enzymology, a galactarate O-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.130) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are feruloyl-CoA and galactarate, whereas its two products are CoA and O-feruloylgalactarate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is feruloyl-CoA:galactarate O-(hydroxycinnamoyl)transferase. This enzyme is also called galacturate hydroxycinnamoyltransferase.
