In enzymology a taxadien-5alpha-ol O-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.162) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionacetyl-CoA + taxa-4(20)11-dien-5alpha-ol CoA + taxa-4(20)11-dien-5alpha-yl acetateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and taxa-4(20)11-dien-5alpha-ol whereas its two products are CoA and taxa-4(20)11-dien-5alpha-yl acetate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups.
