Description

The GLYATL3 (glycine-N-acyltransferase like 3) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 6.

This protein catalyzes the attachment of long-chain fatty acids to glycine, forming long-chain N-(fatty acyl)glycine. This reaction is a crucial step in the primary pathway for making fatty acid amides.

GLYATL3 is also known as C6orf140, bA28H17.2.
