Abstract excerpt
Human arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) mediates the biotransformation of arylamine drugs and procarcinogens into either innocuous or reactive DNA-damaging metabolites and is expressed predominantly in liver. Interspecies differences and incongruous results between in vitro, in vivo, and epidemiological studies make it difficult to extrapolate animal results to human risk. We have generated human NAT2...
