Arylamine N-acetyltransferase

In enzymology, an arylamine N-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and arylamine, whereas its two products are CoA and N-acetylarylamine.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups.

The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA:arylamine N-acetyltransferase.

As of late 2007, 7 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1GX3, 1W5R, 1W6F, 2BSZ, 2IJA, 2PFR, and 2PQT.
