In enzymology, a 2alpha-hydroxytaxane 2-O-benzoyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.166) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are benzoyl-CoA and 10-deacetyl-2-debenzoylbaccatin III, whereas its two products are CoA and 10-deacetylbaccatin III.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is benzoyl-CoA:taxan-2alpha-ol O-benzoyltransferase.
This enzyme is also called benzoyl-CoA:taxane 2alpha-O-benzoyltransferase.
This enzyme participates in diterpenoid biosynthesis.
