Sysname acetyl-CoA:2-arylethylamine N-acetyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB) acetyl-CoA + a 2-arylethylamine = CoA + an N-acetyl-2-arylethylamine
[RN:R03760]
Reaction(KEGG) R03760 > R02911
Show
Substrate acetyl-CoA [CPD:C00024];
2-arylethylamine [CPD:C15534]
Product CoA [CPD:C00010];
N-acetyl-2-arylethylamine [CPD:C15535]
Comment Narrow specificity towards 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, acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase).
Differs from EC 2.3.1.5 arylamine N-acetyltransferase.
