Acyltransferase which efficiently conjugates very long-chain and long-chain fatty acids to taurine (PubMed:17116739). Shows no conjugation activity in the presence of glycine (PubMed:17116739). taurine + tetracosanoyl-CoA = CoA + H(+) + N-tetracosanoyl-taurine eicosanoyl-CoA + taurine = CoA + H(+) + N-eicosanoyl-taurine octadecanoyl-CoA + taurine = CoA + H(+) + N-octadecanoyl-taurine hexadecanoyl-CoA + taurine = CoA + H(+) + N-hexadecanoyl-taurine taurine + tetradecanoyl-CoA = CoA + H(+) + N-tetradecanoyl-taurine dodecanoyl-CoA + taurine = CoA + H(+) + N-dodecanoyl-taurine Expressed mainly in liver and kidney with low levels in adrenal and little or no expression in other tissues. Belongs to the C/M/P thioester hydrolase family.
