Mitochondrial acyltransferase which transfers the acyl group to the N-terminus of glycine (PubMed:20305126, PubMed:22475485). Conjugates numerous substrates, such as arachidonoyl-CoA and saturated medium and long-chain acyl-CoAs ranging from chain-length C8:0-CoA to C18:0-CoA, to form a variety of N-acylglycines. Shows a preference for monounsaturated fatty acid oleoyl-CoA (C18:1-CoA) as an acyl donor. Does not exhibit any activity toward C22:6-CoA and chenodeoxycholoyl- CoA, nor toward serine or alanine (PubMed:20305126). . This is the function of Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000156689 (GLYATL2, glycine-N-acyltransferase like 2).
