In [[enzymology]], a '''glutamine N-phenylacetyltransferase''' ({{EC number|2.3.1.14}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:phenylacetyl-CoA + L-glutamine <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> CoA + alpha-N-phenylacetyl-L-glutamine

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[phenylacetyl-CoA]] and [[L-glutamine]], whereas its two [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[coenzyme A|CoA]] and [[alpha-N-phenylacetyl-L-glutamine]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[transferase]]s, specifically those [[acyltransferase]]s transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is '''phenylacetyl-CoA:L-glutamine alpha-N-phenylacetyltransferase'''. Other names in common use include '''glutamine phenylacetyltransferase''', and '''phenylacetyl-CoA:L-glutamine N-acetyltransferase'''.  This enzyme participates in [[tyrosine metabolism]] and [[phenylalanine metabolism]].
