Application

p-Coumaric acid has been used as a component of chemiluminescent substrate for protein detection in western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

p-Coumaric acid is mainly a plant metabolite which exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It also shows bactericidal activity by damaging bacterial cell membrane and by interacting with bacterial DNA. In western blot, p-coumaric is also used as an enhancer in chemiluminescent substrate.

Hydroxycinnamic acid found in many fruits and vegetables.

Other Notes

Predominantly trans isomer.
