IUBMB Comments

Narrow specificity towards 2-arylethylamines, including serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine), tryptamine, 5-methoxytryptamine and phenylethylamine. This is the penultimate enzyme in the production of melatonin (5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine) and controls its synthesis (cf. EC 2.1.1.4, acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase). Differs from EC 2.3.1.5 arylamine N-acetyltransferase.

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Eukaryota, Bacteria

Synonyms
aanat, aa-nat, snat2, arylalkylamine n-acetyltransferase, snat1, aanat2, aanat1, serotonin-n-acetyltransferase, aralkylamine n-acetyltransferase, bm-iaanat, more
