N-acetylation of MOCA (top) and O-acetylation of N-hydroxy-MOCA (bottom) catalyzed by human recombinant NAT2 allozymes. Each bar represents Mean ± SEM for three to five determinations. MOCA N-acetyltransferase activities differed significantly across the allozymes following one way analysis of variance (p<0.0001). NAT2 allozymes 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 6A, 6B, 7A, 7B, 14A, and 14B catalyzed MOCA N-acetylation at rates much lower than NAT2 4 reference. N-hydroxy-MOCA O-acetyltransferase activities differed significantly across the allozymes following one way analysis of variance (p<0.0001). NAT2 allozymes 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 6A, 6B, 7A, 7B, 13, 14A, and 14B catalyzed N-hydroxy- MOCA O-acetylation at rates much lower than NAT2 4 reference. Rates of MOCA N-acetylation and N-hydroxy-MOCA O-acetylation were highly correlated following linear regression. (r2) = 0.931; p<0.0001.
