ID   2.1.1.273
DE   Benzoate O-methyltransferase.
CA   S-adenosyl-L-methionine + benzoate = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + methyl
CA   benzoate.
CC   -!- While the enzyme from the plant Zea mays is specific for benzoate,
CC       the enzymes from Arabidopsis species and Clarkia breweri also
CC       catalyze the reaction of EC 2.1.1.274.
CC   -!- In snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) two isoforms are found,
CC       one specific for benzoate and one that is also active toward
CC       salicylate.
CC   -!- The volatile product is an important scent compound in some flowering
CC       species.
