ADCL encodes a protein that acts as a 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate lyase. It catalyzes the production 4-aminobenzoate (pABA) production which is required for folate biosynthesis. The enzyme localizes to chloroplasts based on an import assay and GFP localization experiments. Involved in D-Amino Acid Stimulated Ethylene Production.
