Abstract excerpt
Arylamine N-acetyltransferase catalyses the N-acetylation of primary arylamine and hydrazine drugs and chemicals. N-acetylation is subject to a polymorphism and humans can be categorized as either fast or slow acetylators according to their ability to N-acetylate polymorphic substrates in vivo. Previously, slow acetylation has been linked to four distinct polymorphic N-acetyltransferase (pnat) alleles each of...
