FAMILY

Cation-dependent O-methyltransferase family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as CAMT_MEDSA, CCOMT. Methylates caffeoyl-CoA to feruloyl-CoA and 5-hydroxyferuloyl-CoA to sinapoyl-CoA. Plays a role in the synthesis of feruloylated polysaccharides. Involved in the reinforcement of the plant cell wall. Also involved in the responding to wounding or pathogen challenge by the increased formation of cell wall-bound ferulic acid polymers. Homodimer.
