Gene Name: N-acetyltransferase 2 (arylamine N-acetyltransferase)
Symbol:
Description: The intronless NAT2 gene encodes N-acetyltransferase 2 (arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2). This enzyme functions to both activate and deactivate arylamine and hydrazine drugs and carcinogens. Polymorphisms in this gene are reponsible for the N-acetylation polymorphism in which human populations segregate into rapid,intermediate, and slow acetylator phenotypes. Polymorphisms in NAT2 are also associated with higher incidences of cancer and drug toxicity.A second arylamine N-acetyltransferase gene (NAT1) is located near NAT2.
