ENZYME entry: EC 2.3.1.87

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.3.1.87
Accepted Name
aralkylamine N-acetyltransferase
Alternative Name(s)
AANAT
arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase
melatonin rhythm enzyme
serotonin acetylase
serotonin acetyltransferase
serotonin N-acetyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
a 2-arylethylamine + acetyl-CoA = an N-acetyl-2-arylethylamine + CoA + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • Narrow specificity toward 2-arylethylamines, including serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine), tryptamine, 5-methoxytryptamine and phenylethylamine.
  • This is the penultimate enzyme in the production of melatonin (5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine) and controls its synthesis (cf. EC 2.1.1.4).
  • Differs from EC 2.3.1.5.
