In

enzymology, a salutaridinol 7-O-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.150) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

acetyl-CoA + salutaridinol CoA + 7-O-acetylsalutaridinol

Thus, the two

substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and salutaridinol, whereas its two products are CoA and 7-O-acetylsalutaridinol
.

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:salutaridinol 7-O-acetyltransferase. This enzyme participates in alkaloid biosynthesis i.
