This enzyme from Synechocystis PCC6714 methylates caffeic acid to produce ferulic acid, which is the third step in the vanillin biosynthesis pathway. This methylation step is crucial for forming the characteristic methoxy group of vanillin. This part is new to the Registry, but is homologous to an earlier COMT parts BBa_I742107 BBa_K1129041.
