Reaction: acyl-CoA + glycine = CoA + N-acylglycine
Other name(s): glycine acyltransferase; glycine-N-acylase
Systematic name: acyl-CoA:glycine N-acyltransferase
Comments: The CoA derivatives of a number of aliphatic and aromatic acids, but not phenylacetyl-CoA or (indol-3-yl)acetyl-CoA, can act as donor. Not identical with EC 18.104.22.168 glutamine N-acyltransferase or EC 22.214.171.124 glycine N-benzoyltransferase.
