Aralkylamine N-acetyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q29495
Acetyl-CoA + a 2-arylethylamine = CoA + an N-acetyl-2-arylethylamine.
-!- Narrow specificity toward 2-arylethylamines, including serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine), tryptamine, 5-methoxytryptamine and phenylethylamine. -!- This is the penultimate enzyme in the production of melatonin (5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine) and controls its synthesis (cf. EC 2.1.1.4). -!- Differs from EC 2.3.1.5.
