Summary for human NAT8B from NCBI
The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to the N-acetyltransferase 8 (NAT8) gene product, which is a kidney and liver protein with homology to bacterial acetyltransferases involved in drug resistance. This gene is localized on chromosome 2 in the vicinity of the NAT8 gene and may represent a pseudogene of NAT8. This gene contains two polymorphic nonsense mutations that disrupt the active site of the protein. The full-length product of this gene contains a complete acetyltransferase domain and is identical in length to NAT8. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Annotation information
Note: This gene is named as a pseudogene because some transcripts contain two stop codons, the latter one destroying the active site of the enzyme (PubMed 16395595). Because some variants exist without the stop codons, the NCBI RefSeq Project treats this as a protein-coding gene. [13 Feb 2013]
