Anthranilate N-benzoyltransferase explained

anthranilate N-benzoyltransferase
Ec Number:2.3.1.144
Cas Number:125498-59-1
Go Code:0047672

In enzymology, an anthranilate N-benzoyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

benzoyl-CoA + anthranilate

\rightleftharpoons

CoA + N-benzoylanthranilate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are benzoyl-CoA and anthranilate, whereas its two products are CoA and N-benzoylanthranilate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is benzoyl-CoA:anthranilate N-benzoyltransferase.
