NAT8, Official Symbol NAT8provided by HGNC Official Full Name N-acetyltransferase 8 (putative)provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:18069 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000144035 MIM:606716; AllianceGenome:HGNC:18069 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as GLA; CML1; CCNAT; Hcml1; ATase2; TSC501; TSC510 Summary This gene, isolated using the differential display method to detect tissue-specific genes, is specifically expressed in kidney and liver. The encoded protein shows amino acid sequence similarity to N-acetyltransferases. A similar protein in Xenopus affects cell adhesion and gastrulation movements, and may be localized in the secretory pathway. A highly similar paralog is found in a cluster with this gene.
