Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP00030
Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 5259
Name Serotonin N-acetyltransferase
Synonyms
  1. AA-NAT
  2. Aralkylamine N-acetyltransferase
  3. Serotonin acetylase
Gene Name AANAT
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
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.
Pathways
  • melatonin biosynthesis
  • Tryptophan metabolism
  • Tryptophan metabolism
