NAT 1 ( N - acetyltransferase 1 ( arylamine N - acetyltransferase ) )

The human NAT1 gene has nine exons. The coding region is located in exon 9 and spans 870 bp. Diverse NAT1 transcripts have been reported and two promoters exist. The first promoter, designated as P1 is located in the 5' flanking region of exon 1 and controls two major (a1 and a2) transcripts. The second promoter is located upstream of exon 4 and give rise to at least five (b1 to b5) different t...

Arylamine N-Acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) Genetic Diversity and Traditional Subsistence: A Worldwide Population Survey

Arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) is involved in human physiological responses to a variety of xenobiotic compounds, including common therapeutic drugs and exogenous chemicals present in the diet and the environment. Many questions remain about the evolutionary mechanisms that have led to the high prevalence of slow acetylators in the human species. Evidence from recent surveys of NAT2 gen...

Arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 genotypes in a Mexican population.

The acetylating activity of N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) has critical implications for therapeutics and disease susceptibility. To date, several polymorphisms that alter the enzymatic activity and/or protein stability of NAT2 have been identified. We examined the distribution and frequency of NAT2 genotypes in the Mexican population. Among 250 samples amplified and sequenced for the NAT2 g...
