Gene information for NAT8B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID51471
Official gene symbolNAT8B
Full nameN-acetyltransferase 8B (GCN5-related, putative, gene/pseudogene)
Aliases,CML2,Hcml2,MGC97061,NAT8BP,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to the N-acetyltransferase 8 (NAT8) gene product, which is a kidney and liver protein with homology to bacterial acetyltransferases involved in drug resistance. This gene is localized on chromosome 2 in the vicinity of the NAT8 gene and may represent a pseudogene of NAT8. This gene contains two polymorphic nonsense mutations that disrupt the active site of the protein. The full-length product of this gene contains a complete acetyltransferase domain and is identical in length to NAT8. [provided by RefSeq]
