Glycine-N-Acyltransferase Like Protein 1 (GLYATL1)
The glycine-N-acyltransferase (GLYAT) is well known to be involved in thedetoxification of endogenous and exogenous xenobiotic acyl-CoA's in mammals.GLYATL1 was1546 base pairs in length and contained an open reading frame (ORF) encoding apolypeptide of 302 amino acids. GLYATL1 was a split gene that was consisted of 7 exonsand 6 introns and mapped to chromosome 11q12.1. The expression of GLYATL1 could befound in liver, kidney, pancreas, testis, ovary and stomach among 18 human tissues by RT-PCR analysis. Subcellular localization of myc-tagged GLYATL1 fusion protein revealedthat GLYATL1 was distributed primarily in the cytoplasm of COS-7 cells. Furthermore,through the pathway profiling assay, the GLYATL1 protein was found to activate HSEsignaling pathway in a dose-dependent manner when overexpressed in HEK293T cells.
