Benzyl alcohol O-benzoyltransferase

Benzyl alcohol O-benzoyltransferase (, benzoyl-CoA:benzyl alcohol benzoyltransferase, benzoyl-CoA:benzyl alcohol/phenylethanol benzoyltransferase, benzoyl-coenzyme A:benzyl alcohol benzoyltransferase, benzoyl-coenzyme A:phenylethanol benzoyltransferase) is an enzyme with systematic name benzoyl-CoA:benzyl alcohol O-benzoyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * benzoyl-CoA + benzyl alcohol $$\rightleftharpoons$$ CoA + benzyl benzoate

The enzyme is involved in benzenoid and benzoic acid biosynthesis.
