FAMILY
  • acetyltransferase family
  • AANAT subfamily
  • CATEGORY enzyme
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
    basic FUNCTION
  • penultimate step in melatonin synthesis, controlling its circadian rhythm production
  • modulating the function of the circadian clock in the supra optical nucleus and influencing activity and sleep
  • catalyze the acetylation of serotonin, a rate-limiting process in melatonin synthesis
  • controls daily changes in melatonin production by the pineal gland and thereby plays a unique role in biological timing in vertebrates
