A tyrosine aminotransferase involved in rosmarinic acid biosynthesis in Prunella vulgaris L
Abstract Rosmarinic acid (RA) and its derivants are medicinal compounds that comprise the active components of several therapeutics. We isolated and characterised a tyrosine aminotransferase of Prunella vulgaris (PvTAT). Deduced PvTAT was markedly homologous to other known/putative plant TATs. Cytop...
