MeSH Heading: Arylalkylamine N-Acetyltransferase
Tree Number(s): D08.811.913.050.134.127
Unique ID: D047068
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D047068
Annotation: do not confuse with ARYLAMINE N-ACETYLTRANSFERASE
Scope Note: An acetyltransferase with specificity towards the amine group of aromatic alkylamines (arylalkylamines) such as SEROTONIN. This enzyme is also referred to as serotonin acetylase despite the fact that serotonin acetylation can also occur through the action of broad specificity acetyltransferases such as ARYLAMINE N-ACETYLTRANSFERASE.
Entry Term(s): Serotonin Acetylase; Serotonin Acetyltransferase; Serotonin N-Acetyltransferase
Previous Indexing: Arylamine N-Acetyltransferase (1986-2004)
