Also known as AAC2, NAT-2, PNAT, N-acetyltransferase 2, N-acetyltransferase 2 (arylamine N-acetyltransferase)
protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
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 polymorphic arylamine N-acetyltransferase gene (NAT1), is located near this gene (NAT2).
