The Glycine N-acyltransferase (GLYAT) gene encodes a protein that catalyzes the transfer of acyl groups from acyl CoA to glycine, resulting in acyl glycine and coenzyme A. Aberrant GLYAT expression is associated with several malignant tumors, but its clinical importance in human breast cancer (BC), has yet to be fully addressed. This evidence concerns the gene GLYAT and breast carcinoma.
