NAT8B - N-acetyltransferase 8B (putative, gene/pseudogene)

This gene is highly similar to the N-acetyltransferase 8 (NAT8) gene which encodes a kidney and liver protein with homology to bacterial acetyltransferases involved in drug resistance. This gene is localized on chromosome 2 in the vicinity of the NAT8 gene and represents a human-specific transcribed pseudogene of NAT8. This gene contains two common polymorphic nonsense mutations that disrupt the active site of the protein. In the extremely rare event when both nonsense mutations are absent, the predicted protein would contain a complete acetyltransferase domain and would be identical in length to NAT8.
