Glutamine N-acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.68) is an enzyme that catalyzes the general chemical reaction

L-glutamine + an acyl-CoA N-acyl-L-glutamine + CoA

Phenylacetyl-CoA is a suitable donor and in this case the product is phenylacetylglutamine:[1]

This enzyme, characterised from human and monkey liver,[1] belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acyl-CoA:L-glutamine N-acyltransferase.[2]
