SYNONYMS
Protein fusion-2, FUS2, FUS-2, NAT6, N-acetyltransferase 6, Protein fus-2.
INTRODUCTION
NAT6 is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of acetyl groups from acetyl-CoA to acrylamines. NAT6 is located mainly in the cytoplasm and its activity has been recognized by its feasibility to acetylate the N-terminus of proteins using a ping-pong-like mechanism and by its substrate specificity. Given that the NAT6 gene maps to the chromosomal region 3p21.3, which includes at least one tumor suppressor gene, the function of NAT6 plays an important role in cancer.
DESCRIPTION
Recombinant Human NAT6 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 328 amino acids (1-308 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 35.9 kDa. NAT6 is fused to a 20 amino acid His Tag at N-terminus and purified by conventional chromatography techniques.
