Glycine N-acyltransferase

Glycine N-acyltransferase

In enzymology, a glycine N-acyltransferase (EC number|2.3.1.13) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:acyl-CoA + glycine ightleftharpoons CoA + N-acylglycine

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acyl-CoA and glycine, whereas its two products are CoA and N-acylglycine.

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 acyl-CoA:glycine N-acyltransferase. Other names in common use include glycine acyltransferase, and glycine-N-acylase.
