Description: This Human Serotonin N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate AANAT in samples. An antibody specific for AANAT has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any AANAT present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for AANAT is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of AANAT bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Background: Serotonin N-acetyl transferase is an enzyme involved in the conversion of serotonin to melatonin in pinealocytes. It is an acetyl-CoA dependent enzyme of the GCN5-related family of N-acetyltransferases (GNATs). Arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase 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 seasonal reproduction, modulates the function of the circadian clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, and influences activity and sleep. This enzyme is rapidly inactivated when animals are exposed to light at night. This protein is 80% identical to sheep and rat AA-NAT. Arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase may contribute a multifactorial genetic diseases such as altered behavior in sleep/wake cycle.

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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
