N(2),N(5)-dibenzoyl-L-ornithine
+ 2 coenzyme A
 

The substrates of this enzyme characterised from quail liver are ornithine and two units of benzoyl-CoA. Its products are N(2),N(5)-dibenzoyl-L-ornithine (ornithuric acid) and two units of coenzyme A.[1]

The 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:L-ornithine N-benzoyltransferase. It is also called ornithine N-acyltransferase.[2]
