EC 2.3.1.196 Details
EC number
2.3.1.196
Accepted name
benzyl alcohol O-benzoyltransferase
Reaction
benzoyl-CoA + benzyl alcohol = CoA + benzyl benzoate
Other name(s)
benzoyl-CoA:benzyl alcohol benzoyltransferase, benzoyl-CoA:benzyl alcohol/phenylethanol benzoyltransferase, benzoyl-coenzyme A:benzyl alcohol benzoyltransferase, benzoyl-coenzyme A:phenylethanol benzoyltransferase
Systematic name
benzoyl-CoA:benzyl alcohol O-benzoyltransferase
Comment
The enzyme is involved in volatile benzenoid and benzoic acid biosynthesis. The enzyme from Petunia hybrida also catalyses the formation of 2-phenylethyl benzoate from benzoyl-CoA and 2-phenylethanol. The apparent catalytic efficiency of the enzyme from Petunia hybrida with benzoyl-CoA is almost 6-fold higher than with acetyl-CoA [1].
