EC 2.3.1.166     
Accepted name: 2α-hydroxytaxane 2-O-benzoyltransferase
Reaction: benzoyl-CoA + 10-deacetyl-2-debenzoylbaccatin III = CoA + 10-deacetylbaccatin III

Other name(s): benzoyl-CoA:taxane 2α-O-benzoyltransferase
Systematic name: benzoyl-CoA:taxan-2α-ol O-benzoyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme was studied using the semisynthetic substrate 2-debenzoyl-7,13-diacetylbaccatin III. It will not acylate the hydroxy group at 1β, 7β, 10β or 13α of 10-deacetyl baccatin III, or at 2α or 5α of taxa-4(20),11-diene-2α,5α-diol.
