EC 2.3.1.268 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

2.3.1.268

Accepted name

ethanol O-acetyltransferase

Reaction

ethanol + acetyl-CoA = ethyl acetate + CoA

Other name(s)

eat1 (gene name), ethanol acetyltransferase

Systematic name

acetyl-CoA:ethanol O-acetyltransferase

Comment

The enzyme, characterized from the yeast Wickerhamomyces anomalus, is responsible for most ethyl acetate synthesis in known ethyl acetate-producing yeasts. It is only distantly related to enzymes classified as EC 2.3.1.84, alcohol O-acetyltransferase. The enzyme also possesses thioesterase and esterase activities, which are inhibited by high ethanol concentrations.
