ID   2.3.1.220
DE   2,4,6-trihydroxybenzophenone synthase.
AN   benzophenone synthase.
CA   benzoyl-CoA + 2 H(+) + 3 malonyl-CoA = 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzophenone +
CA   3 CO2 + 4 CoA.
CC   -!- Involved in the biosynthesis of plant xanthones.
CC   -!- The enzyme from the plant Hypericum androsaemum L can use
CC       3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA instead of benzoyl-CoA, but with lower activity
CC       (cf. EC 2.3.1.151).
