coniferin

A metabolite, and key biosynthetic intermediate for cell wall lignifcation within phenylpropanoid biosynthesis of coniferous trees. A substrate for Coniferin β-D-Glucosidase.

ChEBI: Coniferin is a monosaccharide derivative that is coniferol attached to a beta-D-glucopyranosyl residue at position 1 via a glycosidic linkage. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a cinnamyl alcohol beta-D-glucoside, an aromatic ether and a monosaccharide derivative. It is functionally related to a coniferol.
