trans-Caffeic acid(CAT: R014106) is a naturally occurring hydroxycinnamic acid and phenolic compound widely studied for its plant growth-promoting properties and antioxidant activity. As a growth stimulator, trans-caffeic acid enhances the elongation of coleoptile sections, indicating a role in plant hormone-like regulation and cell wall modification. It is also a key intermediate in lignin biosynthesis and secondary metabolism in plants. Beyond its botanical functions, trans-caffeic acid exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects, making it valuable in biomedical and nutraceutical research. Supplied at high purity, it is suitable for use in plant physiology studies, bioactivity screening, and natural product research.
