Indonesia is the second highest country with TB patients in the world. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a comorbid of TB. Arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2), encoded by the NAT2 gene, is an enzyme that metabolizes isoniazid (INH).

Interethnic diversity of NAT2 polymorphisms in Brazilian admixed populations [PDF]
Background N-acetyltransferase type 2 (Nat2) is a phase II drug- metabolizing enzyme that plays a key role in the bioactivation of aromatic and heterocyclic amines.

Eukaryotic arylamine N-acetyltransferase
Arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NAT; EC 2.3.1.5) catalyse the transfer of acetyl groups from acetylCoA to xenobiotics, including drugs and carcinogens. The enzyme is found extensively in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, yet the endogenous roles of NATs are still unclear. In order to study the properties of eukaryotic NATs, high-throughput substrate and

Background Alzheimer's disease is multifactorial, having environmental, toxicological and genetic risk factors. Impaired folate and homocysteine metabolism has been hypothesised to increase risk. In addition to its xenobiotic-metabolising capacity, human

Heterocyclic amines and arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 polymorphism in pathogenesis of insulin resistance. [PDF]
Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are formed when cooking meats at high temperatures or for long periods of time, and their major metabolic pathway includes hepatic N‑hydroxylation by CYP1A2 followed by O-acetylation by N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2).

Role of human arylamine n-acetyltransferase 1 in tumorigenesis and cancer biology. [PDF]
Human arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) is a well-known phase II metabolic enzyme that has been associated with carcinogenesis. Its role in the biotransformation of aromatic and heterocyclic amine carcinogens has been investigated for many years ...

Arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT) acetylates the front-line anti-tuberculosis drug isoniazid (INH) and has been identified in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A naturally occurring single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was recently found in the NAT gene in clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis.

Breast Cancer and Active and Passive Smoking: The Role of the N-Acetyltransferase 2 Genotype [PDF]
The association of breast cancer with passive and active smoking was investigated in slow and fast acetylators of aromatic amines in a Geneva, Switzerland, study in 1996-1997.
