Glycine N-acyltransferase-like protein 2 (GLYATL2)

Mitochondrial acyltransferase which transfers the acyl group to the N-terminus of glycine. Conjugates numerous substrates, such as arachidonoyl-CoA and saturated medium and long-chain acyl-CoAs which range from chain-length C8:0-CoA to C18:0- CoA, to form a variety of N-acylglycines.

Shows a preference for monounsaturated fatty acid oleoyl-CoA (C18:1-CoA) as an acyl donor. Doesn't exhibit any activity toward C22:6-CoA and chenodeoxycholoyl-CoA, nor toward serine or alanine.
