Gene:
glycine-N-acyltransferase
Gene ID:
196963
Symbol:
GLYAT
Species:
1000
Description:
The glycine-N-acyltransferase protein conjugates glycine with acyl-CoA substrates in the mitochondria. The protein is thought to be important in the detoxification of endogenous and xenobiotic acyl-CoA's. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
