DESCRIPTION

Also known as SNAT1_ORYSI, SNAT1, NSI. Catalyzes the N-acetylation of serotonin into N-acetylserotonin, the penultimate step in the synthesis of melatonin. Catalyzes in vitro the N-acetylation of tryptamine to produce N-acetyltryptamine, 5-methoxytryptamine to produce melatonin and tyramine to produce N-acetyltyramine (By similarity). Acetyltransferase required for geminivirus infection and systemic spread (By similarity).
