ID 2.3.1.196 DE benzyl alcohol O-benzoyltransferase. CA benzoyl-CoA + benzyl alcohol = benzyl benzoate + CoA. CC -!- The enzyme is involved in volatile benzenoid and benzoic acid CC biosynthesis. CC -!- The enzyme from Petunia hybrida also catalyzes the formation of CC 2-phenylethyl benzoate from benzoyl-CoA and 2-phenylethanol. CC -!- The apparent catalytic efficiency of the enzyme from Petunia hybrida CC with benzoyl-CoA is almost 6-fold higher than with acetyl-CoA.
