ID 2.1.1.273 DE benzoate O-methyltransferase. CA benzoate + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = methyl benzoate + S-adenosyl-L- CA homocysteine. 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.
