Abstract excerpt
Arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NATs) catalyze the biotransformation of a variety of arylamine drugs and carcinogens and may play diametrically opposing roles in enhancing either the detoxification of these chemicals or their metabolic activation into DNA-binding electrophiles. To facilitate the study of these processes, we have generated a Nat1/Nat2 double-knockout mouse model by gene targeting in embryonic stem...
