SAT2

SAT2 (Spermidine/Spermine N1-Acetyltransferase Family Member 2) is a Protein Coding gene, and is affiliated with the lncRNA class. Among its related pathways are spermine and spermidine degradation I and Arginine and proline metabolism. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include transferase activity, transferring acyl groups other than amino-acyl groups and diamine N-acetyltransferase activity. An important paralog of this gene is SAT1.

Full Name

Spermidine/Spermine N1-Acetyltransferase Family Member 2

Function

Catalyzes the N-acetylation of the amino acid thialysine (S-(2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine), a L-lysine analog with the 4-methylene group substituted with a sulfur (PubMed:15283699).
May also catalyze acetylation of polyamines, such as norspermidine, spermidine or spermine (PubMed:12803540).
However, ability to acetylate polyamines is weak, suggesting that it does not act as a diamine acetyltransferase in vivo (PubMed:15283699).
