Measuring the Activity of Arylamine N‐Acetyltransferase ( NAT )

Charlene A. McQueen

Abstract

This unit describes methods for measuring the activity of arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NAT). Genetic polymorphisms in NAT 1 and NAT 2 have been associated with susceptibility to aromatic amines carcinogens and effects of therapeutic drugs. Evaluation of the activities associated with substrates of NATs is helpful in elucidating the contribution of these enzymes to the pharmacologic and toxicologic effects of arylamines and hydrazines.
