In enzymology a benzophenone synthase (EC 2.3.1.151) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction3 malonyl-CoA + 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA 4 CoA + 23’46-tetrahydroxybenzophenone + 3 CO2Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are malonyl-CoA and 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA whereas its 3 products are CoA 23’46-tetrahydroxybenzophenone and CO2.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups.
