In

enzymology, an alcohol O-cinnamoyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.152) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

1-O-trans-cinnamoyl-beta-D-glucopyranose + ROH alkyl cinnamate + glucose

Thus, the two

alkanol (ROH), whereas its two products are alkyl cinnamate and glucose
.

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 1-O-trans-cinnamoyl-beta-D-glucopyranose:alcohol O-cinnamoyltransferase.
