3-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propanoyl-CoA [CPD:
C07303 ]
Product
vanillin [CPD:
C00755 ];
acetyl-CoA [CPD:
C00024 ];
3-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propanoyl-CoA [CPD:

Comment
The enzyme is a member of the enoyl-CoA hydratase/isomerase superfamily. It catalyses a two-step process involving first the hydration of the double bond of feruloyl-CoA and then the cleavage of the resultant beta-hydroxy thioester by retro-aldol reaction. (E)-caffeoyl-CoA and (E)-4-coumaroyl-CoA are also substrates.
