Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Catalyzes the N- or O-acetylation of various arylamine and heterocyclic amine substrates (PubMed:12222688, PubMed:7915226). Participates in the detoxification of a plethora of hydrazine and arylamine drugs, and is able to bioactivate several known carcinogens.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY an arylamine + acetyl-CoA = an N-acetylarylamine + CoACATALYTIC ACTIVITY an N-hydroxyarylamine + acetyl-CoA = an N-acetoxyarylamine + CoABIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES Genetic variations in NAT2 determine the rate of acetylation of various arylamine and heterocyclic amine substrates that include therapeutic and carcinogenic agents. They influence drug therapy response and susceptibility to chemical toxicity [MIM:243400]. Different alleles are known, whose combination defines the rapid, intermediate and slow acetylator phenotypes. Allele NAT2*4 sequence is historically considered as the reference in most publications. The sequence shown in this entry corresponds to the translation of allele NAT2*12A, which is the one represented in the human reference genome (GRCh38/hg38 assembly) and has an arginine at position 268 (Ref.7). The enzyme encoded by allele NAT2*4 differs by the variant p.Arg268Lys (PubMed:2734109). The two alloenzymes have comparable arylamine N-acetyltransferase activity (PubMed:11337936).SIMILARITY Belongs to the arylamine N-acetyltransferase family.SEQUENCE CAUTION NAT alleles
