Definition: An enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of acetyl groups from ACETYL-COA to arylamines. It can also catalyze acetyl transfer between arylamines without COENZYME A and has a wide specificity for aromatic amines, including SEROTONIN. However, arylamine N-acetyltransferase should not be confused with the enzyme ARYLALKYLAMINE N-ACETYLTRANSFERASE which is also referred to as SEROTONIN ACETYLTRANSFERASE.
do not confuse with ARYLALKYLAMINE N-ACETYLTRANSFERASE
Other names Arylamine Acetyltransferases; Arylamine Acetylases; N-Acetyltransferase, Arylamine; N-Acetyltransferase, Acetyl-CoA Arylamine; Arylamine N-Acetyltransferase, Acetyl-CoA; Arylamine N Acetyltransferase; Acetyltransferases, Arylamine; Acetylases, Arylamine; Acetylase, Arylamine; Acetyl CoA Arylamine N Acetyltransferase; Arylamine Acetylase; Acetyl-CoA Arylamine N-Acetyltransferase
