Atsetüültransferaaside
Atsetüültransferaase (AT) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of certain drugs and toxins, particularly those containing acetyl groups. It is a member of the transferase family of enzymes and is responsible for transferring acetyl groups from acetyl-CoA to various substrates, including certain drugs and toxins.
The primary function of Atsetüültransferaase is to detoxify these compounds by converting them into less toxic
One of the key substrates for Atsetüültransferaase is acetaminophen, a common pain reliever and fever reducer.
Another important substrate for Atsetüültransferaase is paracetamol, a widely used analgesic and antipyretic drug. The enzyme
Genetic variations in the Atsetüültransferaase gene can affect the enzyme's activity and, consequently, the metabolism of
In summary, Atsetüültransferaase is an essential enzyme involved in the metabolism of various drugs and toxins,
