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. |
