Function

Function:
Mitochondrial acyltransferase which transfers an acyl group to the N-terminus of glycine and glutamine, although much less efficiently. Can conjugate numerous substrates to form a variety of N-acylglycines, with a preference for benzoyl-CoA over phenylacetyl-CoA as acyl donors. Thereby detoxify xenobiotics, such as benzoic acid or salicylic acid, and endogenous organic acids, such as isovaleric acid.
Catalytic Activity:
Acyl-CoA + glycine = CoA + N-acylglycine.
Kinetics:
BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES: Kinetic parameters: KM=57.9 mM for benzoyl-CoA
