Bile Acid-CoA:Amino Acid N-Acyltransferase

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme

**Definition:** Bile acid-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferase (418 aa, ~46 kDa) is encoded by the human BAAT gene. This protein plays a role in catalyzing the transfer of C24 bile acids from the acyl-CoA thioester to either glycine or taurine.

**Synonyms:** - BAAT - Bile Acid-CoA Thioesterase - Choloyl-CoA Hydrolase - EC 2.3.1.65 - EC 3.1.2.2 - EC 3.1.2.27 - Glycine N-Choloyltransferase - Long-Chain Fatty-Acyl-CoA Hydrolase
