| EC |
2.3.1.13 |
| Accepted name: |
glycine N-acyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
acyl-CoA + glycine = CoA + N-acylglycine |
| Other name(s): |
glycine acyltransferase; glycine-N-acylase |
| Systematic name: |
acyl-CoA:glycine N-acyltransferase |
| Comments: |
The CoA derivatives of a number of aliphatic and aromatic acids, but not phenylacetyl-CoA or (indol-3-yl)acetyl-CoA, can act as donor. Not identical with EC 2.3.1.68 glutamine N-acyltransferase or EC 2.3.1.71 glycine N-benzoyltransferase. |
