Abstract excerpt
Three N-acetyltransferase genes (NAT*) were detected in inbred parental and congenic mice. Direct sequencing of NAT2* and liver cytosolic N-acetylation activity determinations with NAT2-specific (p-aminobenzoic acid) and NAT2-selective (2-aminofluorene) substrates have established that the acetylator congenic A.B6 and B6.A mice are genotypically and phenotypically identical to the parental B6 ("wild-type"; rapid...
