Biological function summary
AANAT has a critical role in regulating physiological processes through the production of melatonin. It operates as part of the intramolecular complex that facilitates its enzymatic activity in the pineal gland. By converting serotonin into N-acetylserotonin which further converts to melatonin AANAT modulates the synthesis of melatonin an indoleamine with effects on sleep-wake cycles and seasonal reproductive rhythms in mammals. This regulatory activity reflects how AANAT influences the hormonal signaling pathways in response to light and dark cycles.
Pathways
AANAT is integral to the melatonin synthesis pathway and interacts closely in serotonin metabolism. It tightly regulates the conversion of serotonin to melatonin in the pineal gland especially during nocturnal periods. One key protein related to AANAT in this pathway is hydroxyindole O-methyltransferase (HIOMT) which converts N-acetylserotonin to melatonin. The modulation of melatonin levels impacts diverse biological pathways including circadian rhythm regulation and neuroendocrine signaling.
일반 정보
기능
Controls the night/day rhythm of melatonin production in the pineal gland. Catalyzes the N-acetylation of serotonin into N-acetylserotonin, the penultimate step in the synthesis of melatonin.
서열 유사성
Belongs to the acetyltransferase family. AANAT subfamily.
Post-translational modifications
cAMP-dependent phosphorylation on both N-terminal Thr-31 and C-terminal Ser-205 regulates AANAT activity by promoting interaction with 14-3-3 proteins.
