Abstract excerpt
Arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT, serotonin N-acetyltransferase, EC ) plays a unique transduction role in vertebrate physiology by converting information about day and night into a hormonal signal: melatonin. Only vertebrate members of the AANAT family have been functionally characterized. Here a putative AANAT from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (scAANAT) was studied to determine whether it possessed the...
