In

enzymology, a cortisol O-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.27) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

acetyl-CoA + cortisol CoA + cortisol 21-acetate

Thus, the two

cortisol 21-acetate
.

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 acetyl-CoA:cortisol O-acetyltransferase. Other names in common use include cortisol acetyltransferase, corticosteroid acetyltransferase, and corticosteroid-21-O-acetyltransferase.
