Reaction: phenylacetyl-CoA + glycine = CoA + phenylacetylglycine
Other name(s): arylacetyl-CoA N-acyltransferase; arylacetyltransferase; GAT (gene name)
Systematic name: phenylacetyl-CoA:glycine N-phenylacetyltransferase
Comments: Not identical with EC 2.3.1.13 (glycine N-acyltransferase). This enzyme was purified from bovine liver mitochondria. L-asparagine, L-glutamine and L-arginine are alternative substrates to glycine, but have higher Km values.
