Abstract excerpt
Many arylamine and hydrazine drugs and xenobiotics are acetylated by liver N-acetyltransferase (NAT; EC 2.3.1.5). Two loci, mnat and pnat, encode the enzymes designated monomorphic and polymorphic NAT (mNAT and pNAT) respectively. These isoenzymes have different substrate specificities. In addition, at the polymorphic locus a diversity of alleles is found, which differ by specific point mutations that may or may...
