Arylamine N-Acetyltransferase 2

Mutations Visualisation

Protein summary

This is preferred isoform of NAT2 protein.
NAT2: arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2
Description:

This gene encodes an enzyme that functions to both activate and deactivate arylamine and hydrazine drugs and carcinogens. Polymorphisms in this gene are responsible for the N-acetylation polymorphism in which human populations segregate into rapid, intermediate, and slow acetylator phenotypes. Polymorphisms in this gene are also associated with higher incidences of cancer and drug toxicity. A second polymorphic arylamine N-acetyltransferase gene (NAT1), is located near this gene (NAT2).
