Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Human N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) plays a significant role in the clearance and biotransformation of many drugs and carcinogens. A TC (Ile114Thr) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of NAT2 is commonly found in slow acetylators, leading to altered drug response and toxicity and possibly cancer susceptibility from carcinogens. The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanism by which this...
