Phenylalanine N-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.53) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from Escherichia coli are phenylalanine and acetyl-CoA. Its products are N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine and coenzyme A.[1][2]
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA:L-phenylalanine N-acetyltransferase. This enzyme is also called acetyl-CoA-L-phenylalanine alpha-N-acetyltransferase. It participates in phenylalanine metabolism.[3]
