General scheme of the alkyl hydroxycinnamate (AHC) biosynthesis pathway. Whereas Fatty Acyl Reductases (FARs) have clear acyl-chain length preferences (reactions on the left), HXXXD-motif/BAHD acyltransferases utilize a range of alkyl-chain length as substrates (reactions on the right) with some degree of specificity for hydroxycinnamoyl CoAs.
