Anti-NAT2 Antibody

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 arylamine N-acetyltransferase gene NAT1 is located near this gene NAT2 . provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008 Annotation information: Note: Loci in other organisms that are functionally homologous to this one are validly referred to as both NAT1 and NAT2; i.e., the functional homologs of NAT1 include mouse and rat Nat2, while the functional homologs of human NAT2 include mouse and rat Nat1. Name:sequence associations are consistent with current use in the field. 27 Apr 2009
