Rabbit anti-Human NAT2 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-NAT2 antibody
NAT2 antibody - middle region
Target Description: NAT2 is a N-acetyltransferase 2 (arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2). This enzyme functions to both activate and deactivate arylamine and hydrazine drugs and carcinogens. Polymorphisms in its 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.

NCBI 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).
