Reaction: feruloyl-CoA + 16-hydroxypalmitate = CoA + 16-feruloyloxypalmitate
Glossary: 16-feruloyloxypalmitate = 16-{[3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]oxy}hexadecanoate
Other name(s): hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA ω-hydroxypalmitic acid O-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase; HHT
Systematic name: feruloyl-CoA:16-hydroxypalmitate feruloyltransferase
Comments: p-Coumaroyl-CoA and sinapoyl-CoA also act as substrates. The enzyme is widely distributed in roots of higher plants.
