Description
A polyketide synthase from the plant Curcuma longa (turmeric). Three isoforms exist, CURS1, CURS2 and CURS3. While CURS1 and CURS2 prefer feruloyl-CoA as a starter substrate, CURS3 can accept 4-coumaroyl-CoA equally well (see EC 2.3.1.219, demethoxycurcumin synthase).
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC~-80 ºC.
Synonyms
CURS; CURS1 (gene name); CURS2 (gene name); CURS3 (gene name)
Reaction
feruloyl-CoA + feruloylacetyl-CoA + H2O = 2 CoA + curcumin + CO2
