ID 2.3.1.65 DE bile acid-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferase. AN amino acid N-choloyltransferase. AN BACAT. AN BAT. AN cholyl-CoA:taurine N-acyltransferase. AN cholyl-CoA glycine-taurine N-acyltransferase. AN glycine N-choloyltransferase. AN glycine--taurine N-acyltransferase. CA choloyl-CoA + glycine = CoA + glycocholate + H(+). CC -!- Also acts on CoA derivatives of other bile acids. CC -!- Taurine and 2-fluoro-beta-alanine can act as substrates, but more CC slowly. CC -!- Can also conjugate fatty acids to glycine and can act as a very-long- CC chain acyl-CoA thioesterase. CC -!- Bile-acid--amino-acid conjugates serve as detergents in the CC gastrointestinal tract, solubilizing long chain fatty acids, mono- CC and diglycerides, fat-soluble vitamins and cholesterol. CC -!- This is the second enzyme in a two-step process leading to the CC conjugation of bile acids with amino acids; the first step is the CC conversion of bile acids into their acyl-CoA thioesters, which is CC catalyzed by EC 6.2.1.7.
