In enzymology a vanillin synthase (EC 4.1.2.41) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction3-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propanoyl-CoA vanillin + acetyl-CoAHence this enzyme has one substrate 3-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propanoyl-CoA and two products vanillin and acetyl-CoA.This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases specifically the aldehyde-lyases which cleave carbon-carbon bonds.
