COMT — Capsicum annuum
Summary
T459_09720 (CaCOMT) encodes a caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase, a SAM-dependent methyltransferase with protein dimerization activity. The gene is associated with lignin and flavonoid anabolism, secondary metabolism, sulfur metabolism, cadmium transport, fruit development and ripening, and signal transduction. It is also linked to lignin content. Related genes in other species connect the family to caffeate O-methyltransferase activity (EC 2.1.1.68).
