Abstract excerpt
Human arylamine N-acetyltransferases NAT1 and NAT2 are highly polymorphic genes that modify individual susceptibility to cancers caused by exposure to arylamine procarcinogens. Strong similarities exist between rat Nats and human NATs, and rat Nat2 polymorphisms result in slow acetylator phenotype. Recently, a third rat Nat, rNat3*1, was reported. Although in vivo toxicological and carcinogenic studies are often...
