Abstract excerpt
Recent studies from our laboratory have shown relatively high levels of polymorphic N-acetyltransferase (NAT)(EC 2.3.1.5) activity toward carcinogenic arylamines in urinary bladder cytosol of humans and in the inbred hamster model of the N-acetylation polymorphism. The expression of this polymorphism is of interest because of the higher incidence of bladder cancer among human slow acetylators with documented...
