Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable cysteine-S-conjugate N-acetyltransferase activity and lysine N-acetyltransferase activity, acting on acetyl phosphate as donor. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of cell adhesion. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane. Is expressed in brain; genitourinary system; liver; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human NAT8 (N-acetyltransferase 8 (putative)) and NAT8B (N-acetyltransferase 8B (putative, gene/pseudogene)).
