NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the acetyltransferase superfamily. It is the penultimate enzyme in melatonin synthesis and controls the night/day rhythm in melatonin production in the vertebrate pineal gland. Melatonin is essential for the function of the circadian clock that influences activity and sleep. This enzyme is regulated by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation that promotes its interaction with 14-3-3 proteins and thus protects the enzyme against proteasomal degradation. This gene may contribute to numerous genetic diseases such as delayed sleep phase syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
Uniprot Description
AA-NAT: Catalyzes the N-acetylation of serotonin into N- acetylserotonin. Controls the night/day rhythm of melatonin production in the pineal gland. Has a relative affinity for hydroxylated versus non-hydroxylated arylalkylamines. Belongs to the acetyltransferase family. AANAT subfamily. Monomer. Interacts with YWHAZ; the interaction requires phosphorylation on Thr-31, and modulates the enzymatic activity of AANAT through preventing dephosphorylation and/or proteolysis and stabilizing substrate binding. Subsequently, a second molecule of AANAT can bind, via the phosphorylated Ser-205 site, the other YWHAZ monomer with similar effect.

Product Notes
The Mouse Aanat aanat (Catalog #AAA2887382) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2887382 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse Aanat. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Serotonin N-acetyltransferase, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
