Enzymes

General function:
Involved in N-acetyltransferase activity
Specific function:
Controls the night/day rhythm of melatonin production in the pineal gland. Catalyzes the N-acetylation of serotonin into N-acetylserotonin, the penultimate step in the synthesis of melatonin.
Gene Name:
AANAT
Uniprot ID:
Q16613
Molecular weight:
23343.8
Reactions
Acetyl-CoA + Serotonin → Coenzyme A + N-Acetylserotonindetails
General function:
Involved in O-methyltransferase activity
Specific function:
Isoform 1 catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group onto N-acetylserotonin, producing melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine). Isoform 2 and isoform 3 lack enzyme activity.
Gene Name:
ASMT
Uniprot ID:
P46597
Molecular weight:
41660.34
Reactions
S-Adenosylmethionine + N-Acetylserotonin → S-Adenosylhomocysteine + Melatonindetails
