Research AreasNeuroscience

Function

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.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm
Tissue Specificity: Highly expressed in pineal gland and at lower levels in the retina. Weak expression in several brain regions and in the pituitary gland
Pathway: Aromatic compound metabolism; melatonin biosynthesis; melatonin from serotonin: step 1/2

Protein Biology

Function

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

Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm

Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in pineal gland and at lower levels in the retina. Weak expression in several brain regions and in the pituitary gland

Subunit

Monomer (By similarity). Interacts with several 14-3-3 proteins, including YWHAB, YWHAE, YWHAG and YWHAZ, preferentially when phosphorylated at Thr-31. Phosphorylation on Ser-205 also allows binding to YWHAZ, but with lower affinity. The interaction with YWHAZ considerably increases affinity for arylalkylamines and acetyl-CoA and protects the enzyme from dephosphorylation and proteasomal degradation (By similarity). It may also prevent thiol-dependent inactivation (By similarity)

Pathway

Aromatic compound metabolism; melatonin biosynthesis; melatonin from serotonin: step 1/2

Gene: AANAT  |  Organism: Homo sapiens  |  Synonyms: Aralkylamine N-acetyltransferase
