Background
Participates in the detoxification of a plethora of hydrazine and arylamine drugs. Catalyzes the N- or O-acetylation of various arylamine and heterocyclic amine substrates and is able to bioactivate several known carcinogens.MiscellaneousNAT1 was historically considered to be monomorphic in nature but reports of allelic variations at the NAT1 locus suggest that it is a polymorphically expressed enzyme.CautionThe allelic variation Ile-149 designated as NAT1*17 is part of the NAT1*11 allelic variation as reported by the nomenclature committee.
