Acyltransferase which transfers the acyl group to the N-terminus of glycine. Can conjugate a multitude of substrates to form a variety of N-acylglycines (By similarity). an acyl-CoA + glycine = an N-acylglycine + CoA + H(+) Binds to microtubules. Also localizes in regions surrounding the centrosome. The centrosomal localization is dependent on microtubules. Specifically expressed in kidney and liver. Up-regulated in the regenerating liver as well as in hepatocellular carcinoma. Belongs to the glycine N-acyltransferase family.
