Target: | NAT2 is a N-acetyltransferase 2 (arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2). This enzyme functions to both activate and deactivate arylamine and hydrazine drugs and carcinogens. Polymorphisms in its gene are reponsible for the N-acetylation polymorphism in which human populations segregate into rapid,intermediate, and slow acetylator phenotypes. Polymorphisms in NAT2 are also associated with higher incidences of cancer and drug toxicity.This gene encodes N-acetyltransferase 2 (arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2).
