Arylamine N-acetyltransferases: From Structure to Function
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NATs) are cytosolic conjugating enzymes which transfer an acetyl group from acetylCoenzyme A to a xenobiotic acceptor substrate. The enzyme has an active site cysteine as part of a catalytic triad with histidine and aspartate. NATs have had an important role in pharmacogenetics. Polymorphism in acetylation (and inactivation) of the anti-tubercular agent isoniazid resides in human...
