AID NAT2 Kit – Characterization of most frequent polymorphisms NAT2 gene

RDB 2205 NAT 2

N-Acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) is a enzyme of liver tissue, involved in metabolism of Xenobiotics. Substrates of NAT2 are drugs like Isoniazid, Hydralazine or Sulfasalazine.

There exist several polymorphisms of NAT2 gen, most of them are linked with reduced enzyme activity. Dependent on combination of wild type and polymorphisms individuals can show the phenotype slow, intermediate or rapid acetylator. About 60% of Caucasians have slow acetylator phenotype.

NAT2 phenotype has direct influence on drug level of pharmaceuticals, which are metabolized by NAT2. Determination of NAT2 phenotype is crucial for accurate therapy with corresponding drugs.

AID NAT2 Kit enables determination of the most frequent polymorphisms of the NAT2 gene.
