NAT2 Antibody - middle region : FITC (ARP44195_T100-FITC)

NAT2 is a N-acetyltransferase 2 (arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2) . This enzyme functions to both activate and deactivate arylamine and hydrazine drugs and carcinogens. Polymorphisms in its gene are reponsible for the N-acetylation polymorphism in which human populations segregate into rapid, intermediate, and slow acetylator phenotypes. Polymorphisms in NAT2 are also associated with higher incidences of cancer and drug toxicity.This gene encodes N-acetyltransferase 2 (arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2) .

Polymorphisms in NAT2 are also associated with higher incidences of cancer and drug toxicity. A second arylamine N-acetyltransferase gene (NAT1) is located near NAT2.

All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.
