Abstract excerpt
Arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NATs) play an important role in the metabolism of arylamine and hydrazine drugs and many arylamine procarcinogens. The two human N-acetyltransferases, NAT1 and NAT2, are widely distributed in human tissues and are highly polymorphic. Although many xenobiotic procarcinogens and drugs are known mammalian NAT substrates, it is unclear what physiological roles these enzymes might play,...
