GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
GLYAT (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
ACGNAT, GAT
Description
Glycine-N-acyltransferase (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
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.
