Nat2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables arylamine N-acetyltransferase activity. Involved in liver development and response to thyroxine. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); contact dermatitis (multiple); leukemia (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to human NAT1 (N-acetyltransferase 1) and NAT2 (N-acetyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Nat2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
